After spending a day on the beach or golfing or cycling, now you are looking for an evening activity after dinner that the whole family can enjoy. Here is one suggestion that was recently announced by HamptonsFilm that is returning for its fourteenth year of presenting entertaining and engaging documentary films to audiences out East. It is the East Hampton Summer Outdoor Screening Series for the Summer 2022 season. Each week from June 22nd through August 24th, HamptonsFilm will screen classic crowd pleasers on Wednesday evenings in Herrick Park, East Hampton Village, New York. These events are free and each screening will begin approximately at sundown. The series will feature titles suitable for the entire family to enjoy, including A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, E.T., APOLLO 13, and more.
Seating is free and open to the public. Attendees can visit HamptonsFilm.org to reserve an 8’x8’ square for themselves and their party free of charge. Each square can accommodate up to six guests. Additional guests will be accommodated on a first-come, first-serve basis. Those interested can also purchase and reserve a square in the front two rows near the screen. Proceeds will go towards supporting HamptonsFilm’s year-round educational initiatives. RSVPs are strongly encouraged.
