3:00 p.m.	Taking Woodstock Ang Lee (U.S., 2009)

Ang Lee’s latest film is based on the memoirs of Elliot Tiber, a young interior designer who inadvertently helped make the Woodstock Festival into a legendary cultural event. A participant in the gay rights movement in Greenwich Village, Elliot (Demetri Martin) is still staked to the family business—a dumpy Catskills motel called the El Monaco. In the summer of 1969, Elliot returns upstate to save the motel from bank seizure. After hearing that a planned music and arts festival has lost its permit from a neighboring town, Elliot offers his family’s motel to the festival promoters and enlists his neighbor Max Yasgur (Eugene Levy), who operates a 600-acre dairy farm down the road. Soon a half million people are on their way to Yasgur’s farm for “3 days of Peace & Music in White Lake,” and Elliot and his friends are swept up in a generation-defining experience that will change their lives—and popular culture—forever.
