Creating Woodstock

The film will be introduced by Greg Herman. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the producer, Ivan Williams.

For three days in August 1969, nearly a half-million young people descended upon Max Yasgur's farm in upstate New York for the rock ‘n’ roll event that defined a generation. Mythologized for 50 years, the filmmakers set the record straight with "Creating Woodstock,” the most comprehensive examination of how the festival came to be.

This event is part of the Octave Levenspiel Distinguished Lecture series. This year's lecture will be held on March 8. For registration information on the talk visit Beav.es/wGM.
