The Hamptons International Film Festival (HIFF) will celebrate its 25th anniversary with 25 Years: 25 Films, screening one film from each year of the festival. 24 screenings throughout The Hamptons, Palm Beach, New York City, and Los Angeles will lead up to one final screening and Lifetime Achievement Award presentation before the annual October Festival. The 25 Years: 25 Films series will kick off on February 17th at Guild Hall in East Hampton with THE PIANO from HIFF 1993, and then head to Palm Beach on February 23rd for BLACK SWAN from HIFF 2010.
The films in the 25 Years: 25 Films series have all previously screened with HIFF. These include Oscar®-winning films such as the aforementioned THE PIANO and BLACK SWAN, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, STILL ALICE, THE ARTIST, THE COVE, SEARCHING FOR SUGARMAN, Oscar®-nominated films such as THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY, EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT, I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO, and other critically acclaimed films such as OPEN WATER and HEAVENLY CREATURES.
“The festival has seen 25 years of unforgettable films from both first-time directors, as well as recognized masters,” said HIFF Artistic Director David Nugent. “To look back on the works that made the festival so enticing is to recognize a quarter-century of incredible cinema.”
