Although the main
Woodstock Film Festival takes place in the fall, its parent organization hosts happenings
throughout the year. Examples include three events set to take place this
month.
The mid-summer run starts
on July 13 with evening celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Woodstock Film
Festival that features a poster signing by acclaimed actor Matt Dillon and a performance
by renowned musician Gail Ann Dorsey at the North River Electric House in Stone
Ridge. The event will take place from 4 to 7pm and includes cocktails and hors
d’oeuvres; tickets are $60-$100.
A Woodstock Film Festival-sponsored
screening of the 1985 kitsch classic Desperately Seeking Susan starring

director, Susan Seidelman. Tickets are $15.
