OSWALD'S GHOST to screen at 2007 WOODSTOCK FILM FESTIVAL Oscar-nominated director and Rhinebeck-local Robert Stone (GUERRILLA: THE TAKING OF PATTY HEARST, RADIO BIKINI) dissects and deconstructs the now infamous story of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in his new feature lenght documentary OSWALD'S GHOST. In addition to batting around the “whodunit” of the Kennedy assassination, Stone also focuses on the lingering, obsessing effects of the killing and his theory that it changed America forever – similar, in many ways, to 9/11 and its aftermath. “I’ve wanted to make this film ever since I saw Oliver Stone’s JFK nearly 15 years ago and witnessed the extraordinary reaction to it,” said Stone. “I’m fascinated with how people see and interpret history and the world around them.” Stone continued, “I couldn’t be happier than to have this film premier at the Woodstock Film Festival. Not only is it a great festival that’s gaining recognition and stature with each passing year, it’s also my local film festival, so I’m right at home. My experience here with my last film, GUERILLA, was terrific. The audiences are smart and engaged and I look forward to some very lively Q&A’s. Check your prejudices and preconceptions at the door.” |

THE CAKE EATERS to screen at 2007 WOODSTOCK FILM FESTIVAL “We did everything we could to make filming in the Catskills a reality for our production and our film is much better off because of it," said producer Jesse Scolaro. "We couldn’t have been more embraced by the local communities of Catskill and Hudson and supported by the Hudson Valley Film Commission, so we are really excited to return to present our film and once again say ‘thank you’. We’ve been coming to the Woodstock FF over the past few years and truly feel at home amongst those celebrating film, family and culture – not to mention the parties are some of the best on the festival circuit.” Mary Stuart Masterson will be on WAMC-Northeast Public Radio's round table on August 23rd at 10:07 am. |

CHILDREN OF DARFUR East Village Collective to presents photo exhibition by photojournalist Ron Haviv. Three of every five people in the Darfur region of Sudan are children. For over four years, conflict has torn apart the lives of over 2.5 million people. More than 200,000 people have been killed. More than a million people have been displaced by ethnic and political conflict. They live in a state of siege, haunted by events of the past, continuing fear and a loss of hope for the future. Award-winning photojournalist Ron Haviv has produced some of the most important images of conflict and other humanitarian crises that have made headlines from around the world since the end of the Cold War. Haviv's film WAR PHOTOGRAPHER was shown by the Woodstock Film Festival in 2002. For more information on Haviv and CHILDREN OF DARFUR, click here. |
