HIFF Adds Sag Harbor Screenings to Winter Film Series

The Hamptons International Film Festival and Bay Street Theater are teaming up for four film screenings during February and March. “The Insult,” from the festival’s multi-venue Now Showing series, will be shown Sunday afternoon at 1. 

Nominated for this year’s Academy Award for best foreign film, “The Insult,” directed by Ziad Doueiri, focuses on a civilian dispute between a Lebanese Christian and a Palestinian refugee. The personal conflict over a dripping drainpipe explodes into a much larger drama that brings up the divisions that led to Lebanon’s 15-year civil war, which ended in 1990. Tickets are $15, $12 for festival members.

The 2018 Academy Award nominees for Best Live Action Short and Best Animated Short will be shown on Feb. 24, with screenings of the animated shorts at noon and 5 p.m. and live action shorts at 1:30 and 6:30. Tickets are $15 for individual screenings, $25 for the entire afternoon or evening programs.

Information about the March 10 and 18 screenings was not available at press time.
