Just prior the adorable SeaAire leadline classes, judged by Olympic gold medalist Joe Fargis, had featured riders as young as 2 years old!! Kevin Babington of Ireland guided the young mare Shorapur to the fastest fault-free jump-off time (39.16 seconds) of the four final horses to claim the $250,000 Hampton Classic Grand Prix, presented by Land Rover, in an exciting climax to the 39th Annual Hampton Classic. Brianne Goutal of New York City rode Nice De Prissy to second place (0 faults/40.34 seconds), and Richie Moloney of Ireland rode Freestyle De Muze to third place, with 4 faults in 44.26 seconds. Ramiro Quintana of Argentina guided Whitney to fourth place, with 8 faults in 38.58 seconds. The Hampton Classic Grand Prix was an FEI-sanctioned qualifier for the Longines FEI World Cup Final in Las Vegas next April. Moloney's third-placed finish was more than enough to put him on top in the $30,000 Longines Leading Rider Challenge for the second consecutive year, earning 300 points from the week's 10 open jumper classes. Fellow Irishman Darragh Kenny held on to the runner-up spot with 283 points, even though he left on Saturday night for the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in France. Quintana finished third (195) and Shane Sweetnam of Ireland finished fourth (177.5). Babington's day ended better than it started: As the first rider in the ring at 8:00 a.m. for the 7/8-Year-Old Jumper Championships, he fell in the water jump. Since he was completely soaked, he had to wear his back-up jacket for the grand prix, the one missing the lowest front button. "Maybe I should start wearing this jacket for good luck," he quipped. Guilherme Jorge's course proved considerably challenging to the 33 riders from five nations who attempted it. Jorge agreed with the three winners' evaluation that the second half of the course was especially demanding. "It was certainly a long course, but I was very happy that the faults were spread out all over the course," he said. Over 15,000 fans surrounded the Grand Prix Ring, sitting in the grandstands, the VIP tents and the corporate chalets. Of COURSE we got some gorgeous shots of ALL of it!! : ) For 30 years, the Hampton Classic benefited from the guidance of equestrian manager Steve Stephens. Earlier this year, Stephens announced his retirement from the Hampton Classic, and he was honored by the show's staff in a center-ring ceremony before the start of the $250,000 Hampton Classic Grand Prix. The Hampton Classic, which ran Aug. 24-31, featured six show rings, a Boutique Garden with more than 70 vendors, and a wide selection of dining options, on its 60-acre show grounds. The Classic's world-class equestrian competition attracts many of the nation's top professional and amateur riders including Olympic medalists. Internationally acclaimed artist Sabina Streeter held a lovely post season reception for her exhibition Captains, Mates & Widows curated by Dan Rizzie at the Sag Harbor Whaling Museum.  Some cool sound design provided by Carlos Lama inside the museum gallery added to Sabina's naturally, suave artistic nature and beautiful exhibition.

The Hamptons International Film Festival produced an extensive lineup of signature programs for the 22nd annual festival this year over the long Columbus Day weekend officiating Fall 2014! Chairman Stuart Match Suna, Executive Director Anne Chaisson and Artistic Director David Nugent pulled off another spectacular year at our local film fest. Honorary Chair Bob Balaban was toast of the town this year for his outstanding support with a warm welcome from Silvercup Studios as a proud sponsor. Owner of c/o Maidstone Jenny Lungberg welcomed filmmakers, friends and Fall with a lovely light brunch + cocktails as a kickoff before all the privately hosted affairs – how nice is c/o Maidstone for HEADQUARTERS?! Always a fave for us, it is so cozy and intimate and located conveniently close to all...just a stroll across the street to Guild Hall and only a few blocks from the village of East Hampton that was a hustle + bustle of activity! Hampton Jitney made it easy to get from town to town to the different film venues. Hampton Coffee and Diplomatico Rum made it a tasty round : ) Highlights of the festival was the Opening Night film St. Vincent with Bill Murray + Opening Night party at East Hampton point, Laura Dern's Opening Premiere of Wild in Southampton, Richard Gere and Oren Moverman at Time Out of Mind premiere, The Imitation Game premiere and Alfred Sloan panel moderated by Bilge Ebiri of NY Magazine at Guild Hall, Chariman's Reception at the private home of Stuart Match Suna of Silvercup Studios, A&E's Industry Toast party at SL in East Hampton, Offiial Sunday night party at Stephen Talkhouse, Variety Magazine's 10 Actors to Watch panel moderated by Stephen Gaydos of Variety followed by a yummy brunch at c/o Maidstone, the Golden Starfish Awards presentation at the Presbyterian Church Hall in East Hampton - and Closing Night Film, Still Alice and of course...all those A-list private parties in between all the Films, Conversations With, Rowdy Talks, Panels and industry parties!

The Opening Film in East Hampton was a lighthearted comedy "St. Vincent" where star Bill Murray was on hand along with his adorable and surprisingly mature, young co-star Jaeden Lieberher!! Director and Writer Ted Melfi was also on the red carpet. An amusing cast included Melissa McCarthy, Naomi Watts, Chris O'Dowd and Terrence Howard. Southampton's Opening Night was the film "Wild" with Academy Award-winning Reese Witherspoon who stepped out of the box in a big way for this movie along with Laura Dern who was here for the red carpet and Q+A. The two Centerpiece Films were "Foxcatcher" in Sag Harbor where Mark Ruffalo did the honors with his presence. Vanessa Redgrave, Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller and Anthony Michael Hall were all co-stars in this extraordinary and dramatic film. Guild Hall presented the other Centerpiece Film – "The Homesman" starring Tommy Lee Jones who also directed it and Hilary Swank who graced the red carpet, did a Q+A afterward and also "A Conversation With" moderated by Variety's Executive Editor, Stephen Gaydos as well. Closing Film was the touching and candid film "Still Alice" starring Julianne Moore, Kristen Stewart, Alec Baldwin, Kate Bosworth and Hunter Parrish about early onset Alzheimer's. SO many Spotlight Films it was hard to pick and choose but alas, one must make these tough, frantic decisions ; ) Dashing about we managed to catch a little of this and a little of that – films, parties, panels and loads of cool people from all over the world! Loved Song One with Jeffrey Lynn's cool, acoustic music!! World Cinema + Spotlight included The Imitation Game, Birdman, Nightcrawler and The Last 5 Years. Sponsored by Delta Air Lines and Altour International HIFF's World Cinema section of the program boasted three world premieres, six North American premieres and 15 US premieres. This year's Festival included films from over 29 countries!! Three of the films featured in the Focus on Chinese Cinema Series will make their U.S. premieres at the festival, including COMING HOME directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Gong Li (MEMOIRS OF GEISHA, MIAMI VICE), FANTASIA directed by Wang Chao, and RED AMNESIA directed by Wang Xiaoshuai. China is the world's second largest film market with box office revenues of RMB 21.6 billion ($3.17 billion) in 2013, a 27% jump from 2012 according to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). Massive cinema growth in the country in recent years has helped boost box office sales: according to the MPAA, there are seven new cinemas opening in China each day. The country's box office receipts are expected to surpass that in the U.S. By 2018, according to IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond.

The 2014 Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize was awarded to Morten Tyldum's THE IMITATION GAME, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode and Mark Strong. The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation chose the film for its sensitive and moving portrait of the complex, brilliant mathematician who not only created the model for the early computer and for computer language, but whose code breaking skills helped the Allies win World War II. As part of the Festival's Spotlight section, the film will screen on October 11th at Guild Hall in East Hampton. The Weinstein Company will release the film on November 21, 2014. Do we hear another OSCAR perhaps? We were thrilled that Benedict Cumberbatch retweeted + favorited our pre-event promotional tweets @hamptonsmedia so that lit our torches before the festival even began! HIFF’s fourth annual ROWDY TALKS series took place at East Hampton’s Rowdy Hall...yup. Focus was on how Video on Demand has transformed the cinematic distribution strategy for the better, with a panel discussion including several entertainment reporters. New York Film Critics Circle (NYFCC) members Stephen Whitty, Joe Neumaier, David Edelstein and Thelma Adams served as mentors, panelists and jurors at various events throughout HIFF. "The New York Film Critics Circle is once again thrilled to be part of this festival, with its major screenings, surprise discoveries and frank Q+As with filmmakers and stars. HIFF was also proud presenter of eight programs of short films, including the GSA competition shorts (narrative and the inaugural documentary section); short films presented with New York Women in Film and Television, Women Calling The Shots; and eight short works to be shown before feature films. This year’s short film selections included works from 20 countries giving HIFF audiences a real sampling of new work from filmmakers around the world. Showtime Networks was lead sponsor for this year's "Views from Long Island" section. Set against the beautiful backdrop of the eastern end of Long Island, the upcoming SHOWTIME series "The Affair" explores two marriages and the emotional and psychological effects of the affair that disrupts them. The Golden Starfish Awards (GSA) honor emerging directors from around the world in narrative feature, documentary feature and short film competitions along with the newly added category for documentary short films. Juried by world-class filmmakers and industry professionals, these competitions represent the important, provocative premieres by cinema’s next wave of filmmakers. Both long-time sponsors, The Wall Street Journal and A&E Indie Films, again sponsored the Golden Starfish Award Narrative Competition section and Golden Starfish Award Documentary section, respectively.

With cash and in-kind prizes handed out totaling more than $190,000, HIFF continues to attract some of the best films of the year. Selections from all of our programs continue to play an important role during awards season. 2013 marked the 5th time in the last 6 years that a film at the Festival has become the eventual Best Picture winner at the Oscars, making HIFF the only Festival on the East Coast with such a distinction.
