As with the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah in January, the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas in March, the Philadelphia Film Festival in Philadelphia in April, the Tribeca Film Festival in New York in April-May, and the Toronto International Film Festival in early September, I will be attending the Hamptons International Film Festival in mid-October.

This year's festival runs from October 18-22 and is considered the premiere film festival in North America specializing in foreign films and indies. Many films have their world or North American or East Coast premieres there.

I will be posting reviews and pictures of the actors and directors I meet on my PROblog here.

Most films are premieres, and are attended by the cast & crew. They always stay afterwards for a Q&A and the audience gets a chance to sit with them and then meet them afterwards. There is occasionally a party afterwards as well.
