Antiwar Film Classic
Writing in The Guardian in 2014, Peter Bradshaw cited Stanley Kubrick’s film “Paths of Glory” (1957) as “arguably the best film about the first world war, and [it] still has a reasonable claim to being Stanley Kubrick’s best film.” HamptonsFilm will screen it at Guild Hall Friday at 7 p.m.
Directed, written, and produced by Kubrick, “Paths of Glory” stars Kirk Douglas in a widely praised performance as Colonel Dax, the commanding officer of French soldiers who refuse to continue a suicidal attack. He subsequently defends his troops against charges of cowardice in a court-martial, essentially a kangaroo court.
Alec Baldwin, HamptonsFilm’s co-chairman, and David Nugent, its creative officer, will discuss the film’s legacy after the screening.
HamptonsFilm has also announced that submissions are officially open for the 34th annual Hamptons International Film Festival, which will take place from Oct. 2 through Oct. 12. Submissions can be made via filmfreeway.com/HamptonsFilm.

Open Call
The Hampton Theatre Company will hold auditions for nonunion performers for “The 39 Steps,” adapted by Patrick Barlow from the novel by John Buchan, on Monday and Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m. by appointment only at the Quogue Community Hall.
While “The 39 Steps” is most familiar as Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 espionage thriller, Mr. Barlow’s adaptation is a parody of that film that requires sharp timing and physical comedy. The cast consists of four actors playing several roles. Details about the roles, which include one male and one female, each age 30 to 40, and two clowns of either gender, can be found on the theater’s website. The performers must be proficient at a variety of foreign accents.
Sides will be emailed before the audition. Callbacks are March 24 from 6 to 8 p.m., rehearsals will begin April 4, and the performance dates are May 21 through June 7. A nonequity stipend will be offered.
Appointments can be made by calling 631-653-8955 or emailing [email protected].
