The 24th Annual Hamptons International Film Festival is pleased to announce the winners of the 2016 Audience Awards. Congratulations to all our award winners!
The votes are counted, and the audience has spoken.
HIFF 2016 audiences awarded Lionsgate’s LA LA LAND, directed by Damien Chazelle, with the Audience Award for Narrative Feature. Directed by Raoul Peck, Magnolia Pictures’ I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO took home the Audience Award for Documentary Feature. And Netflix’s THE WHITE HELMETS, directed by Orlando von Einsiedel, won the Audience Award for Best Short Film.
“We would like to thank all of the filmmakers whose fantastic films screened at the festival this year. It is incredibly difficult to award only a handful of films after a five-day festival of engaging content. Congratulations to the Audience Award winners that stood out to our filmgoers amongst the best this year had to offer,” said HIFF Artistic Director David Nugent.
