HIFF is thrilled to welcome internationally celebrated Artemis Rising Foundation as the Presenting Sponsor of this year’s festival, which will expand across two weekends this fall: October 4-14, 2024.
Led by founder and CEO Regina K. Scully, Artemis Rising Foundation is dedicated to supporting media, film and education that transform our culture and challenges the status quo. The foundation champions powerful stories about some of the most important social justice issues of our time—including mental health, trauma recovery, addiction, sustainability of our earth, and personal empowerment. Ms. Scully has helped produce hundreds of the most impactful documentary films of the past two decades. These have affected meaningful changes to legislation & policy, education, corporate protocols and cultural norms across all sectors of society.
Award-winning Artemis Rising Foundation films include FANTASTIC FUNGI; WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?; THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM; COMMON GROUND; WATERPROOF; FED UP; MISS REPRESENTATION; ALIVE INSIDE; ATHLETE A; WHAT WOULD SOPHIA LOREN DO?; and THE INVISIBLE WAR.
“This partnership will enhance our ability to create more opportunities and support filmmakers,” said HamptonsFilm Executive Director Anne Chaisson. “We are grateful to our board member Regina K. Scully and her Artemis Rising Foundation for recognizing the ongoing importance of film festivals and the art of filmmaking as a cultural hallmark of our times.”
“Now more than ever, we need to find, support, and highlight our gifted storytellers. Our stories define our culture. Through the lens of film and media, we evolve individually and collectively,” said Scully.
