HIFF and Guild Hall are pleased to announce an exciting new series of screenings, titled NOW SHOWING, that will bring notable films currently in theaters to East Hampton. On select Saturday nights, the series, curated by HIFF, will feature acclaimed first-run art house, independent, and world cinema in Guild Hall’s John Drew Theater.
“The world’s first fully painted film… One of the most lunatic labors of love to appear on movie screens this year. And in that sense, a fitting, miraculous tribute to its subject.” Joe McGovern, Entertainment Weekly
