Hamptons International Film Festival

The films "A White, White Day" and "Overseas" were two of the major competition award winners announced on Monday by the Hamptons International Film Festival.

Those who saw Martin Scorsese's epic "The Irishman" this weekend (or who plan to see it Monday at its last showing at 2:15 p.m. at the East Hampton Cinema) may have been disappointed in the lack of a post-screening discussion, but there were reasons for that.

There was plenty to see and do as the Hamptons International Film Festival began to wind down on Sunday.

Jenno Topping, who grew up in Sagaponack, came home on Saturday to introduce "Ford v Ferrari" as the producer of the film, directed by James Mangold. The movie was the Saturday Centerpiece of the Hamptons International Film Festival.

Brian De Palma, recipient of the festival’s Lifetime Achievement Award, sat down with Alec Baldwin for an illuminating and often hilarious conversation at Guild Hall that covered many aspects of Mr. De Palma’s work.

Saturday was a day in full at the Hamptons International Film Festival: full of screenings, talks, events, and parties. From morning to night, East Hampton to Southampton, it was a packed day.

The Hamptons International Film Festival's Documentary Short Film Competition Program was presented on Saturday morning in East Hampton.

The Hamptons International Film Festival is doubling down on immersive storytelling this year, with two dramatically different approaches to the medium, each of which involves travel. 

The first full day of the Hamptons International Film Festival included a talk on short films, the opening of the virtual reality program at East Hampton Library, and screenings of films from all over the world in theaters in East Hampton, Southampton, and Sag Harbor. 

The Hamptons International Film Festival is off and running with its first full day of programs. Each year festival insiders and veterans offer some tips for those who are here for the first time as well as seasoned alumni. Here we share a few of the best of them.

It was easy to walk into a film called “The Artist’s Wife” with a number of assumptions and delightful to come out with each one of them negated. Tom Dolby's sensitivity to his characters and setting positions it well above even the typical independent offering.

It took Mae Mougin 10 years to give birth to “Waterproof,” a 40-minute lifeguard-centered documentary film that celebrates the core of East Hampton, a community that she and the film’s Academy Award-winning director, Ross Kauffman, find to be exemplary in the way it pulls together.
