"SAINT MISBEHAVIN' is an unabashed love letter to the world that defies the cynicism of our age." wrote Stephen Holden in The New York Times.

On Saturday, December 11, 4pm at Upstate Films at Woodstock, the Woodstock Film Festival and Upstate Films will co-present the long-awaited documentary, followed by a very special Q&A with the iconic Wavy Gravy and the film's director Michelle Esrick.

In SAINT MISBEHAVIN': The Wavy Gravy Movie, Wavy is revealed as more than the tie-dyed entertainer and ice-cream flavor namesake that often defines him in the popular imagination. Audiences will come to know the activist, the optimist and the healer who reaches beyond political, economic and cultural divisions in his commitment to social change and the alleviation of human suffering.

In 2006, WFF screened a work in progress of the film to a sold out house that included Odetta, Michael Lang and free Wavy Gravy ice cream from Ben & Jerry's. WFF is thrilled to welcome Wavy and the finished film back to Woodstock.

The 2010 Teen Film Program will screen December 17, 7:00pm at the Harry Simon Auditorium at Onteora High School, Boiceville NY. Admission is free but a suggested donation of $5 would be most appreciated. Proceeds offset cost of screening, venue and also benefit the Onteora Tech Crew.

The Woodstock Film Festival is proud to present its Annual 2010 Teen Film Program—official student film selections of the 2010 Woodstock Film Festival. A Q&A with student filmmakers will follow the screening. The event marks WFF's yearly commitment to presenting and promoting teen films and high school students from around the world who make them.

The 2010 Teen Film Program will feature a selection of films from local students including Onteora High School's Lauren Tischler, Edith Lerner and Addison Cook. Two films—Can We Talk and What I Love were produced at the Woodstock Film Festival Summer Initiative with guest instructor Annie Nocenti, who teaches regularly in Haiti at the Ciné Institute.

"What sets teen films apart from all other films is the fresh perspective, the honesty and the passion that usually comes through..."- Heidi Johnson, WFF Office Manager and Youth Initiative Coordinator

Topics range from an adaptation of Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice (Tischler) to the survival of an innocent fruit in the animated film Apple by Roman Rhyse-Kleckanda.

	A representative from BCDF production studios in Kerhonksen, NY (Peace, Love & Misunderstanding, The Art of Love)

""We are a small school with great opportunities. Our students are very lucky to have access to great filmmakers and acting talent. Consequently, our students make some pretty good films. . ."" said Onteora High School liaison and teacher David Nelsen Epstein. Since its inception, the Woodstock Film Festival has been committed to youth and education as a means to positive development, conflict resolution and an opportunity for growth. Career Day is part of WFF's Youth Initiative Program which is made possible with grants from the Ulster Savings Charitable Foundation, SAGIndie and The U.S. Department of Justice: Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Program.

In support of the WFF/HVFC FILM CENTER Capital Campaign, several artists and supporters have made some very kind contributions. We hope you will consider bidding.
