Next month, the annual Hamptons International Film Festival will take place on Long Island's beautiful East End. The always-tremendous event is committed to exhibiting films that express fresh voices and differing global perspectives with the hope that these programs will enlighten audiences, provide invaluable exposure for filmmakers and present inspired entertainment for all. It's an event that is on par with the more universally-known festivals, like this month's Toronto Film Festival and the mecca of all independent film showcases, the Sundance Film Festival. This year's festival, the thirteenth to be held, will feature many big names and superior films in its lineup.
