The Woodstock Film Festival has announced the slate for its 22nd edition, with 11 world premieres among the 43 features on the bill.
The festival will take place September 29 to October 3 in three Hudson Valley communities about two hours north of New York City. In-person screenings and events will be featured throughout the fest’s five days, but online options will also enable attendees to connect amid the ongoing challenges of Covid-19.
Panels, concerts and comedy sets along with film screenings are planned in Woodstock, Kingston and Saugerties. Neon chief Tom Quinn is slated to receive the festival’s Honorary Trailblazer Award, an honor announced in 2020 but postponed due to the pandemic.
The festival will kick off with Fanny: The Right to Rock, a documentary about a pathbreaking Filipina-American garage band, with a performance by some of the band’s members following the screening. Music is an annual touchstone for Woodstock’s lineup,...

A little over two years ago, director Dean Peterson gave us a first look at his film, Incredibly Small, and now that the film has toured around the festival circuit after premiering at the Raindance Festival in London, he was kind enough to drop us a line and give us an update on where the film is now. Peterson and company have decided to release the film for free online, and it's available now for your viewing pleasure if you're so inclined.

Chicago – As the days count down to the end of the year, it’s a perfect time for a countdown of the top ten films of 2011. Last week, Brian Tallerico of HollywoodChicago.com posted his 10 Best of 2011, and this week I pick my Top Ten Films of 2011, by Patrick McDonald.
If there was a single overriding theme to films in 2011, it was the end of the world. There were symbolic, financial, moral, anarchistic and literal end of the worlds, which comes on the heels of the meltdown of the end of last decade. It wasn’t a science fiction style end, but a commentary on a pervasive mood in general society, and the reflection of that mood in so many films throughout 2011 is quite remarkable, and unmistakable.
In my Top Ten of 2011, several of those end-of-the-world films are there, but also there is hopeful turns with baseball, Woody Allen and brilliant smaller budget filmmaking.

We’re only a few days away from the start of the Raindance festival here in London, and we’ve been fortunate enough to speak with the director of one of the films on show.
Dean Peterson’s film, Incredibly Small, is making its debut at the festival and we recently posted the trailer to give you a good indication of what to expect and there’s something magnetic in what we’ve seen so far. The naturalistic flow of dialogue and some beautifully sun bleached shots tease what is sure to be a great film and Peterson talks about his process, Raindance and his take on the independent movie scene of 2010.
To find out more about the festival click here and Incredibly Small premieres on the 9th of October at 6.45pm.
HeyUGuys: First of all – what’s your story – how did you get here, to having your film appear at Raindance?...

The Raindance Film Festival lineup got some one crowded out by all the London Film Festival announcements yesterday but it most definitely should not be overlooked. This is the place where loads of awesome indie get to come and get noticed. One of the movies playing at the festival is called Incredibly Small and the director, Dean Peterson emailed me yesterday to give me a heads up on the trailer and poster that has been released for the movie.
The cast includes Susan Burke, Stephen Gurewitz, Alex Karpovsky, Amy Seimetz, Alex Rennie, Bob Byington, Ron Lynch, Darlene Westgor, Dave Mercer, Charles Hubbell and Eric Hisle.
Incredibly Small focuses around a couple Anne (Burke) and Amir (Gurewitz) who decide to move in together after graduating at their university. Amir has been left to find the accommodation and what he finds is somewhat inadequate and miniature!
Synopsis: Two recent college graduates, Anne,...
