Brent Lang Executive Editor Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin’s “Nyad” will be the opening night film of the Hamptons International Film Festival.
The event will take place on Oct. 5, according to HamptonsFilm, which runs the festival. It is the East Coast premiere of the Netflix release, which is shaping up to be one of the streaming service’s major awards season hopefuls.
It has a cast of heavyweights, including Oscar-nominee Annette Bening, Oscar-winner Jodie Foster and Rhys Ifans. The film details the quest by American marathon swimmer Diana Nyad (Bening) to complete a 53-hour, 110-mile swim from Cuba to Florida, through open ocean, without a shark cage.
Vasarhelyi is scheduled to attend the festival and will participate in a post-screening conversation on the film. The premiere is sponsored by Audi. “Nyad” is the narrative feature directorial debut for Vasarhelyi and Chin, who have won an Academy Award, BAFTA and Emmy Award for their documentaries.
