HIFF 2024 Closing Night Film: ‘NIGHTBITCH’

The 32nd edition of HIFF will present the East Coast Premiere of Searchlight Pictures’ NIGHTBITCH as the Closing Night Film on October 13, sponsored by UBS, with festival programming continuing through Monday, October 14.

From writer/director Marielle Heller and starring Academy Award nominee Amy Adams and Scoot McNairy, the film follows a woman (Adams) who pauses her career to be a stay-at-home mom when her new domesticity takes a surreal turn. Marielle Heller is scheduled to attend the festival and participate in a post-screening Q&A.

“We feel incredibly fortunate to bring not only some of the most talked-about films of the season to this year’s edition of the festival, but also many of the talented voices at the helm of these projects as well,” said HamptonsFilm Artistic Director David Nugent. “It is always a treat when we are able to enrich the moviegoing experience for our audiences with these uniquely intimate conversations with artists and filmmakers.”
