On Tuesday, March 1, HIFF, in partnership with Manhattan Magazine, headed south for a special Film Festival Preview in Palm Beach at the beautiful home of our generous hostess, Marzia Precoda.
The delightful evening cocktail reception boasted 75 guests, including VIP Palm Beach influencers and Hamptonites. Notable photographer Harry Benson, the subject of the 2015 HIFF World Premiere HARRY BENSON: SHOOT FIRST, and his wife Gigi were also able to join us.
The party came on the heels of this year’s terrific Oscars® results. With SPOTLIGHT’s win for Best Picture, HIFF has screened 7 of the last 8 Best Picture winners (the only East Coast festival with this honor), so a celebration was certainly in order!
Thanks to all who attended. We look forward to reconnecting in the Hamptons this summer and at the 24th Annual Hamptons International Film Festival in October!
