Which 1970 documentary film records the original Woodstock festival?

The 1970 documentary film recording the original Woodstock festival is Woodstock.

Directed by Michael Wadleigh, the film was released in 1970 and documents performances and audience scenes from the 1969 event. Its editing uses split screens and multiple camera angles to give viewers a sense of the unusually large gathering.

The movie features artists including Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, and Santana. It won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and helped turn the festival into an international cultural landmark.

The film is sometimes confused with Monterey Pop, a documentary about the 1967 Monterey International Pop Festival, or Gimme Shelter, which centers on the Rolling Stones’ 1969 Altamont concert. Those are different events and films.
