Hollywood to the Hamptons for this weekend of non-stop screenings and savvy scene-making. The Hamptons International Film Festival was founded to celebrate Independent film – long, short, fiction and documentary – and to introduce a unique and varied spectrum of international films and filmmakers to audiences. The festival is committed to exhibiting films that express fresh voices and differing global perspectives. For information and tickets go to Hampton Film Festival.

For Opening Night, we love the Nicole Miller Leather & Ponte Knit Peplum Sheath Dress $345.00, paired with Charles David Strapped Pum $168.00 – yes it is time to close up the toes and these possess the paired-down essence of this style.

READ INTERVIEW WITH ROGER KASS EMPTYING THE SKIES
Based on an article in The New Yorker by best-selling writer Jonathan Franzen, Emptying the Skies chronicles the poaching of migratory birds in southern Europe and introduces us to the intrepid volunteer squad of bird-lovers trying to stop it. Director Douglas Kass and co-director Roger Kass skillfully translate the spirit of Franzen’s words onto the screen and deservedly win this year’s Zelda Penzel Giving Voice to the Voiceless Award.
