Event Details

Dive deeper into the changing social ideals of the era with a selection of films that capture different aspects of life in the sixties.

  • 10:00 a.m. Woodstock – An intimate look at the Woodstock Music & Art Festival held in Bethel, NY in 1969, from preparation through cleanup, with historic access to insiders, blistering concert footage, and portraits of the concertgoers.
  • 11:15 a.m. The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution
    This documentary tells the rise and fall of the Black Panther Party, one of the 20th century’s most alluring and controversial organizations that captivated the world’s attention for nearly 50 years.
  • 1:30 p.m. American Experience: The Summer of Love
    Through interviews with a broad range of individuals who lived through the Summer of Love — police officers walking the beat, teenage runaways who left home without looking back, non-hippie residents who resented the invasion of their community, and scholars who still have difficulty interpreting the phenomenon — this American Experience offers a complex portrait of the notorious event that many consider the peak of the 1960s counter-culture movement.
  • 2:45 p.m. Berkeley in the Sixties  A documentary about militant student political activity at the University of California-Berkeley in the 1960’s.
