Podcasts about Taking Woodstock

Straddling the line between outsider artist and full fledged Hollywood sellout, Will Janowitz has always found solace working both sides of the industry. With work ranging from Troma films to Ang Lee's “Taking Woodstock” to “The Sopranos,” he's made a career of always doing the unpredictable. This year two films he produced, and one he wrote, will make their festival run; “Bang Bang” starring Tim Blake Nelson and the later, “Train Dreams,” starring Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones directed by Clint Bently. On this episode he talks about his improvisational sweet spot and how it rests in the heart of danger and risk, brings us back to his beginnings at UNCSA and the reasons why that school didn't work so well for him, charts his own journey discovering his way into the craft, tells some hilarious and relatable audition stories, plus an eye opening one from the other side of the table, and much more. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from  Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft.  Follow Back To One on Instagram

It's been an emotional journey, sometimes infuriating and sometimes confusing, but we're here! To round off the trifecta , we have TAKING WOODSTOCK, a large scale, period-piece, ensemble cast led telling of the memoir about how the legendary concert came to be. No stone is left unturned. No paperwork left unexamined. No telephone line or portaloo left unerrected, this is the definitive story of Woodstock. There's some good. There's some bad. There's some confusing decisions made. See what you think for yourself, man. Groovy! (ugh)

Det kræver bare, at han åbner dørene for et par hippier. Hvad kan gå galt? http://www.ikassenshow.dk/2019/06/i-kassen-520-taking-woodstock-2009.html

Review Summary: Ann & Les hated this "stale" film that overused '70s speak like "psychedelic" and "groovy" until it became cliché. Plot: A man inadvertently sets in motion the generation-defining concert while working at his parents' motel in the Catskills in the summer of 1969.

LA LA Laughing it up with The Animaniacal Topher Grace who graces us with his grace! Terrifying THC TALES! Regrettable edibles! And his coveted Star Wars cut! TMHT 2? "Insterstellar" audition stories, and more. The amazing Luisa Krause's AVA's possession's 6 degrees of "Taking Woodstock"with Dan Powell and his Inside Amy Schumer Stories. SING! LION! All while tap dancing Shakespeare!   

Matt Shear, Nick D, Lauren Francesca, Ashley Middlebrook, and Dan Fogler talk "Don Peyote," "Horace & Pete," "Taking Woodstock" and Ang Lee analogies, Skeletor, and vibrating Ring Dings! We talk films: "Magnificent 7," "War Dogs," "Tough Actin'," and the Huge Head List. SPOILERS!! 

From 2009: Elliot Tiber spoke with Steve Fast about his role in helping organizers of the 1969 Woodstock music festival. Tiber saved the festival from being canceled by providing a permit for the event. His story was turned into the film "Taking Woodstock." Tiber died in August, 2016, just ahead of the 47th anniversary of the Woodstock festival.

Today we'll take a nostalgic look back at the past, and follow the journey into the present, of two men, who played significant roles in Woodstock and the Vietnam War. There would not have been a Woodstock had it not been for Elliot Tiber who saved it. He has since gone on to write Taking Woodstock, which was made into a feature film, Palm Trees on the Hudson, and his newest memoir, After Woodstock: The True Story of a Belgian Movie, an Israeli Wedding, and a Manhattan Breakdown. Tiber's journey reflects a man who created a Forrest Gump life for himself, running from one milestone to another. While Woodstock was happening in New York, Danny Lliteras, was serving in Vietnam. Unlike Elliot, Danny has responded to this concurrent historic event by running inwards, and writing about his experience in a semi-autobiographical book entitled Viet Man: a novel. He has also written about his post-Vietnam experience in the book Flames & Smoke Visible. One era, two different journeys.

Film director Ang Lee and screenwriter James Schamus spoke at Wellesley College on Saturday, October 26. “Ang Lee is one of the most important figures in Chinese cinema—and probably the most famous figure from Chinese cinema in the entire world,” said Mingwei Song, assistant professor of Chinese at Wellesley. Song’s work specializes in modern Chinese literature, film studies, and youth culture. Lee has won the Academy Award for Best Direction for Brokeback Mountain (2005) and Life of Pi (2012) and the Award for Best Foreign Language Film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) in addition to numerous prestigious prizes from European and Asian film festivals. Schamus is an Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, producer, and film executive, and a widely published film historian and theorist. His long collaboration as writer and producer for Ang Lee has resulted in 11 films, including Brokeback Mountain; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; The Ice Storm; The Wedding Banquet; The Hulk; Taking Woodstock and Lust, Caution. As moderator, Song asked questions of the pair exploring their collaboration and career together as well as film themes before turning the questions over to the audience. One theme that Song is excited to explore starts with the question, “Who is the tiger?” referencing the representation of the tiger in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Life of Pi.

Ein Film von Ang Lee. Mit dabei sind Henry Goodman, Imelda Staunton und Paul Dano.

Svensk filmhöst, Ang Lee och meningen med Man tänker sitt. I veckans Kino berättar vi om några av filmerna som kommer att lysa upp höstmörkret. Prinsessa heter regissören Teresa Fabiks nya film. Hon berättar om hur man håller fast vid sin grundidé i en bransch där alla vill vara med och bestämma. Det har blivit Bananas kring Fredrik Gerttens dokumentär Bananas. Kino träffade honom när han pustade ut på sitt kontor mitt i en mediakarusell som enligt honom själv är det enda han har att sätta emot företagsjätten Dole som stämt honom. Pernilla August, aktuell i relationsdramat "Det enda rationella" berättar om varför det tagit så lång tid för henne att debutera som långfilmsregisör, medan Ulf Malmros förklarar hur lång tid det tog för honom att tvätta bort sin värmländska när han flyttade till Stockholm. Samma resa gör huvudpersonen i hans kommande komedi "Bröllopsfotografen". "Man tänker sitt" har biopremiär den här helgen, och har omväxlande hyllats och sågats.

Hello MovieSetters and welcome to our all-Cannes edition of The Behind the Scenes Show with Eric Fell and Shaun Stewart. This webisode we are looking at some of the different movies that are being focused on in Cannes. Specifically we are going to talk about the new Pixar movie 'UP' followed by a look at Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglourious Basterds' and the new movie 'Taking Woodstock'.First off we look at 'UP' which is the opening film for the Cannes International Film Festival. Its the first time an animated motion picture has been the opening film for the prestigious festival so its quite an honor. By tying thousands of balloon to his home, 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen sets out to fulfill his lifelong dream to see the wilds of South America. Right after lifting off, however, he learns he isn't alone on his journey, since Russell, a wilderness explorer 70 years his junior, has inadvertently become a stowaway on the trip.'Inglourious Basterds' begins in German-occupied France, where Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema. Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution. Known to their enemy as "The Basterds," Raine's squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquee, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own..."Taking Woodstock" is a 1969-set story, based on Elliot Tiber's memoir, about a man, Elliot Tiber (Demetri Martin), who inadvertently played a role in making the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival into the famed happening it was. Working as an interior designer in Greenwich Village during culturally and politically exciting times, Mr. Tiber felt empowered by the gay rights movement. But he was also still staked to the family business - a Catskills motel. Upon hearing that a planned concert had lost its permit from the neighboring town of Wallkill, NY, Mr. Tiber called producer Michael Lang (Jonathan Groff) at Woodstock Ventures to offer his family's motel, the El Monaco, to the promoters. Soon the Woodstock staff was moving into the El Monaco; half a million people were on their way to Mr. Tiber's neighbor's Max Yasgur's (Eugene Levy) farm in White Lake, NY; and Mr. Tiber found himself swept up in a generation-defining experience that would change his life, and American culture, forever.Be sure to check out more Behind the Scenes as well as Previous Episodes!Subscribe to behind the Scenes in iTunes or by Email
