‘My Dead Friend Zoe,’ ‘Porcelain War,’ ‘Brooklyn, Minnesota’ Among Big Winners At 25th Woodstock Film Festival


'My Dead Friend Zoe,' 'Porcelain War' and 'Brookyn, Minnesota' are among the big winners at the 25th Woodstock Film Festival.

Richard Rowley served as the jury for the cinematography award, writing of My Dead Friend Zoe, “With clear eyes and precision, this film unearths the buried guilt and trauma of a war that we as a country have still failed to come to terms with. This quote from the film resonates throughout: “As an artist, I am not interested in documenting evil but rather the people who resist it,” The focus on the resilience and bravery of those fighting back against unimaginable devastation creates a deeply humanizing narrative that transcends the typical war documentary. Jurors: Jamie Buckner (Producer, Asphalt City, The Sixth Reel, Catch the Fair One), Susan Jacobs (Music Supervisor, Big Little Lies, American Hustle, Cruella, True Detective) and Clare Manchon (Composer/Music Department, Turn Every Page, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Black Box)
