This week, the Hamptons International Film Festival had the honor to host the @unaoc Plural+ Youth Video Festival Ceremony at Guild Hall. 🎞️

Young filmmakers from Spain, India, Portugal, Benin, and Brazil were invited to share their impactful films, participate in a Q+A, and receive awards for their exceptional work. 🏆

The event was live-streamed around the world, and we are so grateful for our unique partnership with the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations at #HIFF34. 🌎✨

We captured a glimmering sight yesterday of a thousand tree swallows during their migration south. Discover the best spots to see migrating birds this fall and how to help birds at home by visiting us Saturday October 10th at 10:00 AM at Landcraft Garden Foundation. Carmen Campos of PuppetEd will perform a “cranky” puppet show, lead a craft, and ready to share her passion for wildlife conservation. There will be a guided bird walk, a beginner bird identification activity, and more. This is a free event suitable for all ages. @worldmigratorybirdday #worldmigratorybirdday #treeswallow #migration #northforknature #longislandwildlife

Ed German is more than just our beloved East End jazz radio DJ, he recently acted as one in a movie shot and set right here on the South Fork! Ed portrays "Ned Wendesday" in the new film "Not Dead Yet" from father-son directing team Nick Weber and Eric Weber.

After being forced out of his New York City agency by a youth-obsessed culture, veteran ad man Elliot Kelman (Richard Kind) refuses to fade into irrelevance. Retreating to the Hamptons with his wife, he teams up with a group of rebellious seniors—including Academy Award nominee Paul Raci, Tovah Feldshuh and many local familiar faces—to launch a business by seniors, for seniors. At the same time, he keeps his creative juices flowing by developing an unlikely ad campaign that proves experience, ingenuity, and bold new ideas never go out of style. NOT DEAD YET is an uplifting story that shows it is never too late to rewrite your story and start your next act.

The film will screen this weekend as part of @hamptonsfilm Visit hamptonsfilm.org for more information and check out Gianna's recent interview with the directors at wliw.org/radio.
