Free admission at Woodstock Museum Film Festival

Free admission at Woodstock Museum Film Festival

Sanity and relationships are put to the test when mysterious circumstances force a family to survive the Thanksgiving holiday without their cell phones in Search Engines, to be screened on Saturday, Sept. 2 at 8:30 p.m. at the Woodstock Museum Film Festival in Saugerties.

Sanity and relationships are put to the test when mysterious circumstances force a family to survive the Thanksgiving holiday without their cell phones in Search Engines, to be screened on Saturday, Sept. 2 at 8:30 p.m. at the Woodstock Museum Film Festival in Saugerties.

As summer wanes, the thoughts of cineastes in the Hudson Valley region turn toward the prospect of the Woodstock Film Festival, which will lure hordes of glitterati and celebrity-watchers to the Catskills as surely as leaf-peepers in mid-October. But what if you don’t want to wait that long for a heaping helping of independent filmmaking?

For you, immediate relief is at hand. All too many screen buffs forget that the eponymous fall event is not the only film festival in Woodstock’s neck of the woods. The other one happens this very week, at the Woodstock Museum (technically located in Saugerties). The filmmakers may not be famous as yet, but you can’t get much more indie than this. And you can’t beat the price of admission, which is always free.

This event runs evenings from Wednesday, August 30 to Sunday, September 3, plus daytime screenings on Labor Day. Two air-conditioned theaters run each scheduled film simultaneously. There are countercultural exhibits to view and grounds to stroll in the daytime and a café on-site that opens at 6 p.m., one hour before the evening movie programs get underway. There will also be music, light shows with Jim C., a bonfire and, weather permitting, access to a swimming pool with underwater stereo speakers.

The independent films on view are submitted from all around the world. Many are short; some are animated; others are documentaries or capture live performances. Question-and-answer sessions with the filmmakers follow a number of the evening screenings. The unifying theme for 2017 is “Hope.” Here’s the lineup in brief:

Wednesday, August 30: 7 p.m., “Parade” de Satie; 7:30 p.m., The Way of My Life; 8 p.m., Mining the Unconscious: Jung & the Artist’s Journey.

Thursday, August 31: 7 p.m., Super Chef; 7:30 p.m., Mwah; 8 p.m., Stone Story.

Friday, September 1: 7 p.m., Roll Call: A Dance Story; 8 p.m., Nocturnality; 8:30 p.m., Bride of Frankie; 9 p.m., The Bullish Farmer.

Saturday, September 2: 7 p.m., Fix; 7:15 p.m., Calabash and Durian; 7:45 p.m., Woes of a Lotus; 8:30 p.m., Search Engines; 10:15 p.m., A Whole World for a Little World.

Sunday, September 3: 7 p.m., Shoot Me Nicely; 8 p.m., Sacred and Profane Faceless Jacks; 8:15 p.m., Coney Island Dreaming; 8:45 p.m., Saving Place, Saving Grace; 10 p.m., Do You Like Peacocks?

Monday, September 4: 11 a.m., The Art of Aping; 11:06 a.m., Gardeners of the Forest; 11:23 a.m., Gonna Be a Soldier; 11:30 a.m., Close Your Eyes…Well; 11:45 a.m., Lone Survivor; 12:15 p.m., Birthday; 12:30 p.m., Invisible Walls: Tales of Insecurity; 12:40 p.m., Tokri (The Basket); 1 p.m., The Mars Interrogation; 1:30 p.m., Tapette; 2 p.m., What the Hell! 2:10 p.m., A Meditation: Women, the Power Paradigm; 3:30 p.m., Doppelganger; 4:15 p.m., The Karamazoffs.

Frances Marion Platt

Frances Marion Platt has been a feature writer (and copyeditor) for Ulster Publishing since 1994, under both her own name and the nom de plume Zhemyna Jurate. Her reporting beats include Gardiner and Rosendale, the arts and a bit of local history. In 2011 she took up Syd M’s mantle as film reviewer for Alm@nac Weekly, and she hopes to return to doing more of that as HV1 recovers from the shock of COVID-19. A Queens native, Platt moved to New Paltz in 1971 to earn a BA in English and minor in Linguistics at SUNY. Her first writing/editing gig was with the Ulster County Artist magazine. In the 1980s she was assistant editor of The Independent Film and Video Monthly for five years, attended Heartwood Owner/Builder School, designed and built a timberframe house in Gardiner. Her son Evan Pallor was born in 1995. Alternating with her journalism career, she spent many years doing development work – mainly grantwriting – for a variety of not-for-profit organizations, including six years at Scenic Hudson. She currently lives in Kingston.
