Hamptons International Film Festival presents NOW SHOWING: Framing John DeLorean

Money, power, politics, drugs, scandal, and fast cars. The incredible story of John DeLorean is the stuff of a Hollywood screenwriter’s dreams. But who was the real John DeLorean? To some, he was a renegade visionary who revolutionized the automobile industry. To others, he was the ultimate con man. For the first time, Framing John DeLorean recounts the extraordinary life and legend of the controversial automaker, tracing his meteoric rise through the ranks of General Motors, his obsessive quest to build a sports car that would conquer the world, and his shocking fall from grace on charges of cocaine trafficking. Interweaving a treasure trove of archival footage with dramatic vignettes starring Alec Baldwin, Framing John DeLorean is a gripping look at a man who gambled everything in his pursuit of the American Dream.

Discussion to follow with David Nugent, Alec Baldwin, and directors Don Argott and Sheena M. Joyce.

NOW SHOWING brings acclaimed first-run art house, independent, and world cinema films currently in theaters to the East End.

A Thousand Thoughts: A Live Documentary with the Kronos Quartet and Sam Green

 

–Newsweek
 
–Slate
 
–BBC
 
A multimedia experience for the eyes, ears, and soul. Kronos Quartet performs and Sam Green narrates LIVE in perfect harmony with a documentary about Kronos Quartet projected behind them.

Written and Directed by Sam Green and Joe Bini 

Oscar-nominated filmmakers Sam Green and Joe Bini team up with Grammy-winning Kronos Quartet for a wildly creative multimedia performance piece that blends live music and narration with archival footage and filmed interviews with such prominent artists as Philip Glass, Tanya Tagaq, Steve Reich, Wu Man and Terry Riley. 

As Green tells the multi-decade and continent-spanning story of the groundbreaking string quartet, Kronos revisits its extensive body of work, performing music by George Crumb, Aleksandra Vrebalov and many others. Together on stage, Green and Kronos interact with the stirring cinematic imagery on screen to craft an important record and exploration of late 20th– and early 21st–century music. Transcending the typical live music and film event, this collaboration quickly becomes a meditation on music itself – the act of listening to it closely, the experience of feeling it deeply, and the power that it has to change the world. 

Mo Amer

Comedian Mo Amer recently debuted his first stand­ up special, “The Vagabond” on Netflix, followed by appearances on Late Night with Stephen Colbert and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Named as one of Rolling Stone’s 10 Comedians You Need to Know, Amer’s humor consists of observational comedy, political satire, and race related material, heavily drawing on autobiographical elements, as well as his unique improvised, conversational style. He tells his unusual, circuitous lifestory, detailing how he managed to travel the world without a passport for years before finally becoming a U.S. citizen after two decades; had an American soldier pull a weapon on him (at a military show) in Iraq; and once had Bradley Cooper (unintentionally) rescue him in the Middle East.
