Hamptons International Film Festival

Oct 8–14, 2020

Following in the footsteps of the New York Film Festival, the Hamptons International Film Festival, now in its 28th edition, is offering both virtual and drive-in screenings. Standouts in this year’s lineup include U.S. premieres of Nathan Grossman’s Greta Thunberg documentary and Alex Gibney’s take on serial killers; the East Coast premiere of a conversation between Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams by Lisa Immordino Vreeland; and a screening of Chloe Zhao’s Nomadland, starring Frances McDormand. Come for the movies, stay for the conversations with actors and filmmakers; included are Leslie Odom Jr. (portraying legendary singer Sam Cooke in One Night in Miami, showing at an Amagansett drive-in) and Kate Winslet (starring opposite Saorsie Ronan in the upcoming Ammonite, also screening in Amagansett). —J.V.
