SAC Artistic Director Amy Kirwin adds, "We will once again be working with our wonderful partners at Hamptons International Film Festival as an official venue for this year's festival in October and for the first time Hamptons Doc Fest will have a Southampton presence at SAC in December. We also look forward to collaborations with members of the Shinnecock Nation, Slow Food East End, East End Food Institute, and more, plus bringing back popular programs like Piano Bar Nights, Dance Parties with DJ Mister Lama, Raconteurs storytelling evenings, a reunion of the Vagina Monologues cast in Love, Loss & What I Wore on October 19, and the Silent Disco Outdoor Dance Party is back by popular demand SouthamptonFest on Saturday, September 21 from 8-11 PM!
