Ang Lee | 2h 4m

Master Chef Chu (Sihung Lung), now semi-retired, lives in Taipei with his three unmarried daughters: Jia-Jen (Kuei-Mei Yang), a devout chemistry teacher; Jia-Chien (Chien-Lien Wu), a successful airline executive; and Jia-Ning (Yu-wen Wang), who works in a fast-food restaurant.

At the heart of their family life is a weekly ritual: preparing and sharing a lavish Sunday dinner. These meals serve as a grounding tradition, offering connection and comfort as each family member navigates new relationships, unexpected turns, and shifting identities.

The screening will be followed by a meal in the Next Stage community room, with food prepared by Cai’s Dim Sum Catering.

This event is a video showing of the "Rutland Remnants 6, North Bennington Vt to Chatham NY" by Jim Jones,
an exciting and beautifully filmed tour of the railroad from Rutland Vt. down to Chatham NY, stopping at every station along the way with interviews from local residents and station agents from the past.
It will be held at the New Lebanon NY town hall on Rt. 22.
A two -hour video with a brief intermission while light refreshments are served.

Jeff Stein, 1h 49m

From Maximum R&B-playing mods to arena-rock anthem makers: Jeff Stein’s scrapbook of The Who’s career collects tidbits from the band’s TV appearances, Woodstock performance footage, interviews and other flotsam and jetsam in an attempt to pay tribute to one of rock’s greatest (and loudest) groups. Like the quartet themselves, the movie is often disjointed, totally chaotic, and hits with the force of a Fender Stratocaster being smashed on a stage. It also doubles as a history of rock and roll’s British Invasion-and-beyond era, as blues fixations give way to Pop Art, feedback, psychedelica, ambitious attempts at high-art evolution and self-expression, and the power of a well-placed power chord. It also inspired the “This one goes to 11” scene from This Is Spinal Tap, for which we owe this movie an immeasurable debt. —Rolling Stone

Co-presented with Next Chapter Records.

Join the Woodstock Film Festival for IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY, followed by a Q&A with director and producer Amy Berg. The evening will also include live musical performances in honor of Buckley's enduring influence, in the Bearsville Theater lobby.

Rising musician Jeff Buckley had only released one album (which was recorded in Woodstock) when he died suddenly in 1997. Now, never-before-seen footage, exclusive voice messages, and accounts from those closest to him offer a portrait of the captivating singer. Premiering at the Sundance Film Festival, this film takes a deep dive into the artistic spirit that made Buckley’s one-in-a-generation voice and boundary-pushing artistry resonate with both longtime fans and newcomers.

A portion of the evening’s proceeds will benefit The Institute for Animal Happiness, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit animal rescue and vegan organization founded by Rebecca Moore, a longtime animal rights activist featured in the film. Buckley's love for animals was well-known amongst his friends, and a part of IFAH's mission will always be dedicated to honoring that, and his personal evolution on animals and their sentience.

It's A GODZILLA MEGAMONSTER DOUBLE CREATURE FEATURE!

TWO GODZILLA CLASSICS!

BOTH FILMS JAPANESE VERSIONS WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES!

Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II (1993)
Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II is the 20th film in the Godzilla series and despite the title, it is not a direct sequel to the original 1974 Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla but rather a new interpretation of the Mechagodzilla concept.

The film also introduces "Garuda", a secondary flying mecha that can combine with Mechagodzilla into Super Mechagodzilla!

Known for its high production values and dynamic monster battles, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II is often regarded as one of the stronger films in the Godzilla series.

"Godzilla vs. Destoroyah" (1995)
Godzilla is undergoing a nuclear meltdown making him more powerful and more dangerous than ever before! Meanwhile, a new and terrifying monster, Destoroyah, emerges from the same Oxygen Destroyer weapon that killed the original Godzilla in 1954. As Destoroyah evolves into increasingly monstrous forms, humanity faces a dual crisis: the apocalyptic threat of Godzilla's nuclear meltdown and the destructive power of his formidable new enemy.

The film acts as a somber homage to the original 1954 Godzilla while Godzilla's impending meltdown evokes anxieties about nuclear power spiraling out of control.

One of the most emotionally impactful films in the entire Godzilla franchise.Godzilla vs. Destoroyah stands as a landmark film in the Godzilla saga, both as a climactic finale and a tribute to the monster’s mythos.
