Hamptons International Film Festival at Gurney's Inn...

The Hamptons International Film Festival kicked off this year with the opening night film "The Greatest" starring Pierce Brosnan and Susan Sarandon. The annual opening night party was held at Gurney's Inn in Montauk. Everyone had such a great time thanks to the HIFF and Gurney's Inn staff who always throw a terrific event! The opening night is usually held on a Wednesday night but this year it was on Thursday night since the festival is running through Monday instead of Sunday. The music kept everyone dancing and in festive moods. Thank you to the sponsors American Airlines, the Official Airline of HIFF, Altour, The Official Travel Agency of HIFF, Host Sponsor The Alfred P.
