Hamptons International Film Festival presents SummerDocs: Maiden

Alec Baldwin leads conversations with filmmakers and guests, presenting new and groundbreaking documentary films and thought-provoking stories to the East End.

In 1989, the very idea of a competitive all-female sailboat crew was nearly inconceivable to the manly world of open-ocean yacht racing. They’d never make it to the start of the Whitbread Round the World Race, much less survive to the finish. They’d never find funding. They didn’t have the strength or skill. They’d die at sea. Did that many professional female sailors even exist?

Tracy Edwards proved them wrong. 24-year-old skipper Edwards, her second-hand racing yacht Maiden, and her seasoned crew not only became the first-ever all-woman challenge to the Whitbread, they proved able competitors in the famously grueling race, besting male crews in their class. By the time they returned to their starting point at Southampton, England, after 32,000 miles of global racing, they had shocked, inspired, and transfixed the sailing world and the British nation. Tracy Edwards was awarded the 1990 Yachtsman of the Year Award, the first woman ever to receive the accolade, and was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire.

The Django Festival Allstars

“Some of the greatest musicians in the world!” –Leonardo DiCaprio

World Tour! Straight from France, The Django Festival Allstars bring the music of the legendary Gypsy Jazz Guitarist Django Reinhardt into the 21st century. Their unique, high energy performance pays tribute to one of the greatest guitar players of all time. Reinhardt’s driving, swinging style of “hot jazz” sizzles as masterfully played by the Allstars, who unleash their own interpretations, arrangements and original compositions with stunning virtuosity.

This internationally renowned group prominently features one of Europe’s greatest musical families: guitarist/violinist Dorado Schmitt and his two sons Samson and Amati. The band also features virtuoso violinist Pierre Blanchard and accordionist extraordinaire Ludovic Beier. In addition, on rhythm guitar, DouDou Cuillerier, who also brings the house down with his scat singing, and Francko Mehrstein. On bass, Antonio Licusati and Gino Roman.

Maria Bacardi – Duele Album premiere in East Hampton a Benefit Concert in support of Project MOST

Straight from their sold out Joe’s Pub concert! In their newly released album of neo-boleros, DUELE (It Hurts), Maria Bacardi, Grammy Award-winner David Oquendo, and Edgaro Gonzalez have fused classic romantic Cuban boleros of the early to the mid-20th century with up-swing contemporary rhythms and grooves. Accompanied by a powerhouse 10-piece acoustic band, Maria Bacardí is one of the exceptional singers of “Bolero Feelin”. She is expressive and provocative; the type of singer the original Bolero composers would have dreamed of interpreting their heart-wrenching romantic ballads.
