Movies about Woodstock will be part of Bicknell festival’s celebration of the legendary concert’s 50th anniversary

A Utah film festival founded to celebrate bad movies is trying something new this year: Movies that some people think are pretty good.

The Bicknell International Film Festival will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the music event known as Woodstock with two movies, one by an Oscar-winning director and the other an acclaimed documentary featuring many of the artists who played at the 1969 event in upstate New York.

The film festival, revived in 2018 after a five-year hiatus, is set for Saturday and Sunday, July 26 and 27, at the Bicknell Theater in the south-central Utah town west of Capitol Reef National Park.
