At the Hamptons International Film Festival we are committed to showcasing films rooted in our community, and this year brings an exceptionally strong lineup of work by and about Long Island. Come out and support work by local filmmakers including Brenda Siemer Scheider’s affectionate portrait of Marfan Syndrome IN MY HANDS and ode to the work and life of Roy Scheider SMILES, Bruce Weber’s new short film LIBERTY CITY IS LIKE PARIS TO ME, former Ross School artist-in-residence Darko Lungulov’s feature HERE AND THERE, and local student filmmakers Eric Striffler and Megan Vinciguerra’s award-winning short films in our Youth Shorts Program.

For those interested in seeing the Hamptons’scenery light up the big screen, be sure to catch indie dark comedy PAPER MAN, set against a picturesque winter Montauk backdrop, and Alec Hirschfeld’s short doc OUT HERE IN THE FIELDS exploring issues of farming and land ownership in East Hampton.
