‘ Puzzle ’ is next film in Woodstock series

Saturday, Dec. 1, 3 p.m.—WOODSTOCK— The ninth annual Woodstock Vermont Film Series at the Billings Farm & Museum will feature the award-winning documentary, “Puzzle,” on Saturday, Dec. 1, at 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. in HD projection and surround sound, with complimentary refreshments. Reservations are strongly recommended.

Marc Turtletaub’s first narrative feature, “Puzzle” provides a closely observed portrait of Agnes, in her early 40s, who has never ventured far from home, family or the tight-knit immigrant community in which she was raised by her widowed father.

That begins to change in a quietly dramatic fashion when Agnes receives a jigsaw puzzle as a gift and experiences the heady thrill of not only doing something she enjoys, but being very, very good at it.

Tickets prices are $11 for adults (16 and up); and $6 for children (under 16).

Billings Farm & Museum members receive discounted prices. For a complete list of screenings and to purchase tickets, visit billingsfarm.org/filmfest or call 802-457-5303.

Billings Farm & Museum is located one-half mile north of the Woodstock village green on Vermont Route 12.

It is owned and operated by The Woodstock Foundation, Inc., a charitable non-profit institution. The Woodstock Vermont Film Series continues on select Saturdays through April 6, 2019.
