Woodstock is a 1970 American documentary of the watershed counterculture Woodstock Festival that took place in August 1969 at Bethel in New York. Entertainment Weekly called this film the benchmark of concert movies and one of the most entertaining documentaries ever made.
The film was directed by Michael Wadleigh. Seven editors are credited, including Thelma Schoonmaker, Martin Scorsese, and Wadleigh. Woodstock was a great commercial and critical success. It received the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Thelma Schoonmaker was nominated for the Academy Award for Film Editing, which is a quite rare distinction for a documentary film. Dan Wallin and L. A. Johnson were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Sound. The film was screened at the 1970 Cannes Film Festival, but wasn't entered into the main competition.
The 1970 theatrical release of the film ran 184 minutes. A director's cut spanning 225 minutes was released in 1994. Both cuts take liberties with the timeline of the festival. However, the opening and closing acts are the same in the film as in real life; Richie Havens opens the show and Jimi Hendrix closes it.
Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock was also released separately on DVD and Blu-ray.
In 1996, Woodstock was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". An expanded 40th Anniversary Edition of Woodstock, released on June 9, 2009 in Blu-ray and DVD formats, features additional performances not before seen in the film, and also includes lengthened versions of existing performances featuring Creedence Clearwater Revival and others.

Commençant sur un panneau disant « This film should be played loud! » (« Ce film doit être écouté fort ! »), en référence à la pochette intérieure de l'album Let It Bleed des Rolling Stones, le documentaire étudie les influences du Band et sa carrière. Le groupe, composé de Rick Danko (guitare basse, violon, chant), Levon Helm (batterie, mandoline, chant), Garth Hudson (claviers, saxophone), Richard Manuel (claviers, percussions, chant), et le compositeur Robbie Robertson à la guitare, commença sa carrière à la fin des années 1950, sous la forme d'un groupe de rock 'n' roll mené par Ronnie Hawkins, le premier invité du concert. Le Band joua pour Bob Dylan dans les années 1960, et Dylan joue avec eux vers la fin du concert.
