Elliot Michael Tiber (born Eliyahu Teichberg; April 15, 1935 – August 3, 2016)[1][2] was an artist, professor, and screenwriter who wrote a memoir about the Woodstock Festival held in Bethel, New York in 1969.

Tiber's 2007 memoir Taking Woodstock, written with Tom Monte, was adapted into a film of the same name by Ang Lee.

He contacted Michael Lang on or about July 18 and pitched the idea of having the festival on 15 acres (61,000 m2) along the edge of White Lake by the motel.

[9] Tiber left Bethel shortly after Woodstock and soon moved to Los Angeles, where he became a movie set designer.

His 1970s book, Rue Haute, was made into a French-language film directed by his domestic partner, André Ernotte.
