The 18th annual Woodstock Film Festival is now in progress, with dozens of films being screened in Woodstock and neighboring towns. Here’s a look at our coverage so far.
The overviewÂ
A short look at the festival as a whole. Subsequent articles focus on individual aspects.
Eight films to check out
WFF Executive Director Meira Blaustein recommends eight films: five narrative and three documentaries.
Biographical documentaries aboundÂ
Actor/producer/director Griffin Dunne is the nephew of the celebrated journalist and novelist Joan Didion. Dunne profiles her in his new documentary, Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold, which will screen at WFF, as will Arthur Miller: Writer, a documentary about the Pulitzer Prize-winning dramatist directed by his daughter Rebecca Miller, and the much anticipated Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story.
Local talent and familiar scenery
The festival features many films by local directors and shot in the Hudson Valley.
