HAMPTONS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2016

 

The 24th Annual Hamptons International Film Festival (HIFF), the premiere film event on New York State's east end, will be held over Columbus Day Weekend, October 6-10, 2016. HIFF was founded to celebrate Independent film—long, short, fiction and documentary—and to introduce a unique variety of international films and filmmakers to its audiences. The Festival provides film makers with a forum to express a wide variety of global perspectives, while the audience is presented with diverse and inspirational film selections.

HIFF has screened the eventual Best Picture Oscar winner in 7 of the last 8 years (including SPOTLIGHT in 2015) and is the only Festival on the East Coast with such a distinction. The Film Festival attracts more than 25,000 visitors to local theaters in East Hampton, Southampton, Montauk, and Sag Harbor.

 

HIFF recently announced the Saturday and Sunday Centerpiece films—MANCHESTER BY THE SEA and 20TH CENTURY WOMEN, respectively—and the Southampton Opening Night Film, STRANGE WEATHER, starring Holly Hunter.
