All films are open to the public and accessible to people with disabilities. Reservations are strongly recommended.

“Once” is rated R. “Its low-key effect and decidedly human scale endow it with an easy, lovable charm that a flashier production could never have achieved. The formula is simple: two people, a few instruments, 88 minutes and not a single false note,” said A.O. Scott, New York Times. The film garnered Academy Awards for Best Song, a Sundance Film Festival Audience Award and Grand Jury Prize nomination, plus an additional 22 wins and 30 nominations.

Tickets prices are $9-$11. Billings Farm & Museum is located one-half mile north of the Woodstock village green on Vermont Route 12. For more information, visit billingsfarm.org/filmfest or call 802-457-2355.
