SNEAK PEEK Join us as we kick off the festival with food, refreshments and a SNEAK PEEK of This narrative ballet was performed to 49 minutes of Mitchell's provocative music. This ballet is a celebration of the profoundly humanistic questions and testimonies that are expressed so poetically by Mitchell, a world-renowned poet. Three art forms combine as Alberta Ballet's commanding dancers move their powerful bodies and their ethereal souls within a protective world of sound, color and texture that Ms. Mitchell has created. The dynamic set was fully designed by Mitchell and includes the first release of Mitchell's latest artwork, which is projected on a large canvas drum-style screen during the ballet. |

WFF IN THE NEWS “This festival has risen from the essence of what Woodstock is, the Colony of the Arts,” said Ms. Blaustein, the festival’s executive director and co-founder. “The first criterion of our programming is artistic merit, because the festival is an extension of the artistic image and character of Woodstock.” Indeed, Woodstock, nestled at the base of Overlook Mountain in the Catskills, abounds in galleries, showcases for the performance arts, and artist and recording studios. “The whole town celebrates the festival,” Ms. Blaustein said. “Everyone is out and about to soak up the atmosphere, experience the vibe and meet people.” |

WOODSTOCK FEST ROCKIN' OUT "The goal has never been to make it big," Blaustein explains. "It shouldn't double in size and it shouldn't stretch much farther than it already has. We don't want hundreds of thousands of people flocking to the area. That would be counterproductive." Fest organizers might have their hands full keeping the masses away from Woodstock as the film lineup grows in prestige." |

A KILLER LIFE: How an Independent Film Producer Survives Deals and Disasters in Hollywood and Beyond Sunday, October 14, 3pm at the Golden Notebook, 29 Tinker Street in Woodstock 2007 Woodstock Film Festival Maverick Award recipient Christine Vachon’s latest work A KILLER LIFE will be on sale at the Golden Notebook during the festival. Here is an account of a filmmaker who looks straight into the eye of the Hollywood blockbuster storm and dares not to blink.In A Killer Life, Christine Vachon follows up her independent producing handbook, Shooting to Kill, with a behind-the-scenes memoir of the battle between creativity and commerce -- and a renegade's rise to being one of the most powerful female producers in independent film today.A Killer Life traces the early years Vachon spent producing such controversial and critically acclaimed movies as Poison, Happiness, and Kids, films that paved the way for Academy Award-winning triumphs like Boys Don't Cry. She recounts the birth and rise of independent film and the evolution of her company, Killer Films, revealing the stories behind star castings and firings and films that never got made; how sexuality factors into the films she produces; and how the often lethal combination of finance and creativity affects what we see on the big screen.Intelligent and tough as nails, but endearingly self-effacing, Vachon's account of her filmmaking experiences, and the successes and failures that have made Killer Films one of the few truly independent film companies in New York, is a thoroughly entertaining and thought-provoking read for filmmakers and fans alike.
