Woodstock (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (160 words)
Woodstock (1970) The film is about "3 Days of Peace, Love, and Music" at the Woodstock Festival in 1969; directed by Michael Wadleigh and edited by Martin Scorsese, among others.
The film won the Academy Award for Documentary Feature and was nominated in the Best Film Editing and Best Sound categories.
In 1996, the film was deemed culturally significant by the U.S. Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
REELINSIDER.COM - WOODSTOCK (1970) (980 words)
Woodstock trades on the nascent tensions and idealistic discoveries of its moment in America's story to convey a deep unsettled longing for pleasure and togetherness by not just the concert's promoters but also its minions of attendees and admirers from afar.
Wadleigh's film thus attempts to capture the festival's overall feel, depth and multi-dimensionality, not to mention the many layers of inconvenience, serendipity, both good and bad, and kindness produced in the event, largely succeeding due to the grandeur of scale that was the concert.
Still, there is something to Woodstock as an event in our cultural memory and Woodstock as a film in our cinematic archive that expresses what's possible at the convergence of art and commerce colliding, head long, with a musical pop religion magnified by natural disaster and made complete by good vibes and joy.
