Woodstock and Stranger Than Fiction End Their Partnership with a Bang! And Danny Glover!

Last night at the IFC Center, for the third week in a row, Woodstock Film Festival partnered with Thom Powers’ Stranger Than Fiction to present a sold-out screening of a nonfiction gem. The first two incarnations, a presentation of Barbara Kopple’s MY GENERATION and Leon Gast’s WHEN WE WERE KINGS (both Oscar-winning docs that were followed by incisive Q & As and packed afterparties) were sold-out, very successful events, but last night’s screening of Jonathan Demme’s THE AGRONOMIST, his moving portrait of legendary Haitian radio journalist Jean Dominque, took the proverbial cake. The post-screening Q & A with Jonathan Demme, producers Peter Saraf and David Wolff, and Dominique’s stately, articulate widow, Michele Montes moved many audience members to tears, and actor-activist Danny Glover arrived for a surprise appearance onstage. Kudos to Meira, the Woodstock team, and the indefatigable Thom Powers for such a successful run!
