The HamptonsFilm SummerDocs series will continue with entertaining and engaging documentary filmmaking from revolutionary storytellers on Saturday, July 24, with a screening of Sony Pictures Classics’ “The Lost Leonardo,” directed by Andreas Koefoed, at 8 PM.
Following the screening, HamptonsFilm Co-Chairman Alec Baldwin and HamptonsFilm Artistic Director David Nugent will lead conversations with the filmmakers and guests.
“Over the past thirteen years, SummerDocs has been a highlight for us and our audience. We were delighted to be able to offer this program during the pandemic as a Drive-In experience packed with loyal documentary enthusiasts; and we are elated to be back in the John Drew Theater with our partner Guild Hall to continue this program on the big screen,” said HamptonsFilm Executive Director Anne Chaisson.
“The Lost Leonardo” tells the inside story behind the Salvator Mundi, the most expensive painting ever sold at $450 million, claimed to be a long-lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci.
“We are excited for our audiences to experience the magic of these films. This series has brought some of the finest documentarians, artists, writers and performers in the world to the East End, and this summer’s films are no exception,” said Nugent.
All screenings are held at Guild Hall in East Hampton. Tickets for individual screenings are available for $40. Tickets for the screenings are available for purchase at the HamptonsFilm website.
HamptonsFilm also continues its outdoor screening series at Herrick Park in the Village of East Hampton all summer. HamptonsFilm will host a free screening of a classic crowd pleaser every Wednesday night at 8:30 PM. Guests can also reserve a 8×10 foot square for up to six people in the first two rows and help support HamptonsFilm’s year-round education and community programs.
