As a seasoned movie critic with over three decades of industry experience under my belt, I must say that the Woodstock Film Festival‘s 25th edition is shaping up to be quite the spectacle! The diverse lineup promises an intriguing exploration of our shared humanity, and I’m particularly excited about Sean Baker’s “Anora” and Paul Schrader’s “Oh, Canada.” It’s always a treat to witness the cinematic genius of these visionary directors.
For the 25th anniversary of the Woodstock Film Festival, they’ve revealed the schedule of movies to be shown from October 15-20. The films will be played in various locations around Woodstock, Vermont, Rosendale, New York, Kingston, New York, and Saugerties, New York.
Notable features in the Woodstock program encompass Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or winner “Anora,” Steve McQueen’s production “Blitz” from the director of “12 Years a Slave,” Paul Schrader’s “Oh, Canada,” and Amy Adams’ starring role in “Nightbitch.” Jesse Eisenberg’s “A Real Pain” marks the festival’s conclusion. Schrader is set to receive the Maverick award and engage in a discussion following his screening.
Celebrating 25 years of the film festival, at a crucial moment for both our country and the globe, I’m excited to extend a warm welcome to the numerous gifted filmmakers who will be joining us from various corners of the world,” said Meira Blaustein, co-founder and executive director of Woodstock Film Festival. “Their unique perspectives illuminate the intricate tapestry of our lives, and their presence here will reunite creators from all walks of life in honor of creativity, ingenuity, and the indomitable spirit of independence.
Tickets and full program are available at the festival’s website.
