The contrast between the Chic-Hamptons and offbeat feel of this year’s Hamptons International Film Festival was palpable. The screening of Austin Stark’s Wrong Number was followed by a Young & Hip after-party in the Posh Room of NV. Wrong Number is the breakout short flick by directors Stark and Jeff Karp—a Hitchcock spoof about a paranoid alcoholic invalid played by Barbara Stevenson. The closing night after-party at Bamboo highlighted HIFF Audience Award-winners: Nowhere in Africa for best feature, The Syndicate for best short, and The Last Just Man — about the failed UN peace-keeping mission to Rwanda—best documentary.
