The lineup for the 2007 Woodstock Film Festival, which runs October 10 through 14, was announced yesterday.

This year's "Honorary Maverick Award" goes to Christine Vachon, the innovative and prolific producer of more than fifty films over the past twenty-two years. That's too many to list here, of course, but she shepherded Poison, Kids, I Shot Andy Warhol, Boys Don’t Cry, Far From Heaven – she's arguably the most important force in modern independent film.

Vachon is in fact a producer of the festival's closing night selection, Todd Haynes' I’m Not There, which has six actors portraying one multifaceted musician: Bob Dylan. Those screenings are already sold out, but there are dozens of other intriguing films. Julian Schnabel's third, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, won the best director award earlier this year at Cannes. Neal Cassady, a biopic directed by Noel Buschel (Bringing Rain) is a good way to extend your celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of "On the Road." And The Living Wake stars Jesse Eisenberg of The Squid and the Whale and The Hunting Party and was directed by Sol Tryon.
