Maysles to Be Honored

The Hamptons Take 2 Documentary Film Festival will present “Iris,” the last film by Albert Maysles, who died in March at the age of 88, on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 at Bay Street Theater.

The film, which will be released theatrically later this month, is the story of Iris Apfel, a fashion icon who founded Old World Weavers, a textile company, with her husband, Carl, in the 1950s. Nine presidents hired the firm for White House restorations.

Mr. Maysles and his brother, David, who died in 1987, were pioneers of cinema verite. Their films include “Gimme Shelter,” “Grey Gardens,” and “Christo’s Valley Curtain,” among many others.

A panel discussion hosted by Susan Lacy, longtime producer of the PBS American Masters series, who now works for HBO, will include D.A. Pennebaker, Chris Hegedus, and Mirra Bank, themselves noted documentary filmmakers. Tickets are $15.
