Woodstock [videorecording (DVD)] : 3 days of peace & music
Woodstock is a 1970 documentary on the Woodstock Festival in 1969. 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 Official Director’s Cut spans 225 minutes.
In 1996, Woodstock was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.
Showing my age, but the music and the footage of this 1969 phenomena should be of interest to all ages and it can be reserved at Spokane Public Library.
