The Hamptons International Film Festival will show "Youth," starring Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel, in Southampton on its opening night.

When the Hamptons International Film Festival opens on Oct. 8, the film it will screen will be James Vanderbilt’s “Truth” with Robert Redford, Cate Blanchett, Topher Grace, and Elisabeth Moss. Mr. Vanderbilt served as a mentor for the festival’s Screenwriters Lab in 2009.

Mr. Redford plays Dan Rather, a former news anchor at CBS who broadcast a report in his final days about how then-President George W. Bush used family connections to avoid combat in the Vietnam War. The film, distributed by Sony Pictures Classics, will open in theaters on Oct.

Jessye Norman had to cancel her Watermill lecture, but Audrey Gruss will lead a discussion on new research into depression.

"Truth" takes as its subject the 60 Minutes segment that led to the resignation of Dan Rather, with Robert Redford playing Mr. Rather.
