The 15th Annual Hamptons International Film Festival
The Hamptons International Film Festival was established to celebrate the Independent film - long, short, fiction and documentary - and to introduce a unique and varied spectrum of international films and filmmakers to sophisticated audiences. The festival is committed to exhibiting films that express fresh new faces, 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. The 15th Annual Hamptons International Film Festival was held Wednesday, October 17 through Sunday, October 21, 2007.
This year’s event opened with the premiere of a Spotlight film “Bernard and Doris” at United Artist Theatre in East Hampton starring Ralph Fiennes as Doris Duke’s Gay Butler and Susan Sarandon as the tobacco heiress Doris Duke.
In the late 1980’s Bernard Lafferty an Irish butler arrived at the front door of tobacco heiress Doris Duke. A recovering alcoholic and broke, Lafferty faced a challenging battle in convincing his notoriously demanding boss to keep him on staff. Only six years later, he managed to remain employed and was granted full control of Duke’s multi-billion dollar fortune.
