Thank you for being here to experience five days of cinema from around the globe. Our passionate programming staff has put together an array of films that you won’t soon forget. We are indebted to them, our volunteers, Board of Directors, members, donors, patrons, foundations and you, our audience, for allowing us to fulfill our mission of bringing filmmaking artists and their work to the Hamptons each October. ALEC BALDWIN Board Co-Chair And this year, we are proud to acknowledge and celebrate our 27 years of film across the South Fork of Long Island by marking a new day with the introduction of a parent company, HamptonsFILM, which encompasses what we do all year long, and have been doing for all these years: educating, inspiring, mentoring, and enlightening through the art of filmmaking. We’d also like to dedicate this year’s film festival to two longstanding board members who were sadly lost: Michael Lynne, who provided unforgettable evenings of film during many festivals while he headed New Line Films, and was instrumental RANDY MASTRO every year in choosing an artist for our poster; and Mark Urman, also a dedicated Board Co-Chair distribution executive, who poured his heart into making sure that filmmakers’ voices were heard far and wide. We will miss their advice, knowledge and commitment to the arts. Again, thank you for supporting filmmaking artists, allowing them to showcase how the art of filmmaking can change, empower, highlight, educate and uncover the world, which is at the heart of all we do at HamptonsFILM.
