Woodstock - Director's Cut Screening - 40th Anniversary Commemerative Screening
Woodstock (1970) is a  documentary on the Woodstock Festival that took place in August 1969 at Bethel in New York. The film was directed by Michael Wadleigh and was edited by (amongst others) Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker; Schoonmaker was nominated for an Academy Award for Film Editing. It received the Academy Award for Documentary Feature, as well as a nomination for Best Sound. The film was also screened at the 1970 Cannes Film Festival, but wasn‚‚t entered into the main competition. The Official Director‚‚s Cut, spanning 225 minutes, was released in 1994. Both cuts take liberties with the timeline of the festival. However, the opening and closing acts are the same in the film as in real life, i.e., Richie Havens opens the show and (much later) Jimi Hendrix closes it. The film itself is an intimate look at the Woodstock Music & Art Festival held in Bethel, NY in 1969, from preparation through cleanup, with historic access to insiders, blistering concert footage, and portraits of the concertgoers; negative and positive aspects are shown, from drug use by performers to naked fans sliding in the mud, from the collapse of the fences by the unexpected hordes to the surreal arrival of National Guard helicopters with food and medical assistance for the impromptu city of 500,000. Features music from  Crosby, Stills & Nash, Canned Heat, Richie Havens, Joan Baez, Sha-Na-Na, Joe Cocker and the Grease Band, Country Joe and the Fish, Arlo Guthrie, Ten Years After, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, John Sebastian, Sly and the Family Stone, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix
