Woodstock 3 days of peace & music ( Visual )
30 editions published between 1970 and 2009 in English and German and held by 1,054 libraries worldwide
For three days in the summer of 1969, a rock concert was held on an upstate New York farm, and 400,000 people attended -- far more than were anticipated, far more than paid, far more than could be fed or sheltered or cared for after injuries or drug overdoses. It rained, there was mud, all traffic in and out was gridlocked, and the music continued, night and day. "Woodstock Nation" existed for three days and was absorbed into American myth. As depicted in this film, in roughly chronological order, the elusive memory of that nation is cemented into a pungent social documentary. Few documentaries have captured a time and place more completely--in the full flower of its moment, youth, and hope--than this one. It is also one of the finest musical documentaries ever made--if not the best--utilizing adventurous camera work, daring editing, frame mirroring, freeze frames, blackouts, and multi-angle perspectives widening the 1.33:1 image to 2.20:1 to capture flamboyant, riveting, career-defining performances, within an amazing chronicle of how the musicians interact onstage as audience members react to the musicians' performances.

David Holzman's diary ( Visual )
4 editions published between 1967 and 2006 in English and Undetermined and held by 4 libraries worldwide
In a spoof of cinema vérité, this film purports to be a filmic diary of one week in the life of filmmaker David Holzman (L.M. Kit Carson). Holzman, a fictitious character, constantly films himself. The Nagra sound recorder is seen in the frame recording while he speaks into a microphone. The film begins with Holzman stating the date: "This is July 14, 1967," and ruminating on his recently receiving an A-1 draft notice. He quotes Godard's maxim "What is truth--24 times a second." Holzman decides to make a diary of his daily life. He drives along W. 71st Street in New York, describing the famous houses. Back at his apartment, he points to photographs of his girlfriend Penny (Eileen Dietz) and describes her characteristics. When she arrives for a visit, he follows her with his camera and tells her how to move. She avoids looking into the camera, and tells him to stop filming her. After Penny leaves, Holzman muses over Penny's refusal to be in his film. He pontificates on the impossibility of creating a true diary documentary, since once an event is filmed, it is no longer reality. Holzman films Penny sleeping; she awakens, enraged at his filming her, and storms out. Now that his mirror-object is no longer accessible, Holzman begins filming unknown women on the street. One comes on to him; another, annoyed at his following her, turns to him and tells him to beat it. Penny breaks up with him, and Holzman begins losing faith in film. At night, he goes to Penny's apartment and films it from the outside. A cop catches him, and takes him upstairs to Penny. She sends the cop away, and then Holzman. The end of the film diary is forced when someone steals his film equipment while he is away at a funeral. Holzman's last sentiment is that he wishes he could have learned something from the film.
