YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO OCTOBER 24TH-NOVEMBER 10TH OPENING 4P-7P

YOUNGWORLD 6121 CASMERE/DETROIT/USA DETROIT JEN WANG YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO OCTOBER 24TH-NOVEMBER 10TH OPENING 4P-7P Sean:  Hey Gerry, in the 1960’s there was a young man that graduated from the University of Michigan, did some brilliant work in mathematics, specifically bounded harmonic functions. Then he went on to Berkeley, was an assistant professor; showed amazing potential. Then he moved to Montana and he blew the competition away. Gerry: Yeah, so who was he? Sean:  Ted Kaczynski Good Will Hunting, 1997, Gus Van Sant Ted Kaczynski is alternately referred to as a serial killer and a terrorist. His demand to publish his manifesto in the Washington Post and New York Times to avoid “further violence” was met and considered to be “making the right choice between bad options." His brother, reading the manifesto at the suggestion of his wife, contacted the FBI after recognizing his tone and use of the phrase, “You can’t have your cake and eat it too.”    “With the wholly uncritical treatment — nay, giddy embrace — of high technology, even to such excrescences as machine "emotions" which you develop and promote, Psychology Today has at least made it publicly plain what's intended for social life. Your dehumanizing work is a prime contribution to high tech's accelerating motion toward an ever more artificial, de-individuated, empty landscape. I believe I am not alone in the opinion that vermin such as you will one day be considered among the worst criminals this century has produced.” (Signed) In Revulsion, John Zerzan Kaczynski was accepted to Harvard at 16, received his PhD in mathematics from the University of Michigan and became an assistant professor at University of California Berkely in 1967, resigning after two years.  “The antitechnology Luddite movement will grow increasingly vocal and possibly resort to violence as these people become enraged over the emergence of new technologies that threaten traditional attitudes regarding the nature of human life (radical life extension, genetic engineering, cybernetics) and the supremacy of mankind (artificial intelligence). Though the Luddites might, at best, succeed in delaying the Singularity, the march of technology is irresistible and they will inevitably fail in keeping the world frozen at a fixed level of development.”  Ray Kurzweil predicting singularity in 2040. Kaczynski currenty resides at the “Supermax” prison in Florence, Colorado with Zacarias Moussaoui, Terry Nichols, Robert Hanssen, and Larry Hoover. He lives in isolation 23.5 hours a day. “If the system succeeds in acquiring sufficient control over human behavior quickly enough, it will probably survive. Otherwise it will break down. We think the issue will most likely be resolved within the next several decades, say 40 to 100 years.”   Ted Kaczynski #fineartmagazine

23rd HAMPTONS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL AWARDS DINNER HONORING EMILY BLUNT, KILLER FILMS, ALBERT MAYSLES, AND OUTGOING HIFF CHAIRMAN, STUART MATCH SUNA

23^rd HAMPTONS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES INAUGURAL AWARDS DINNER

HONORING EMILY BLUNT,

KILLER FILMS, ALBERT MAYSLES, AND

OUTGOING HIFF CHAIRMAN, STUART MATCH SUNA

— The Hamptons International Film Festival (HIFF) announced today an inaugural Awards Dinner celebrating internationally-acclaimed actress Emily Blunt, iconic independent film production company Killer Films (celebrating its 20th anniversary), legendary documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles (receiving a posthumous tribute), and longtime HIFF board chairman Stuart Match Suna, to take place in East Hampton on Sunday, October 11, 2015. The Dinner, which will take place during the 23rd annual Hamptons International Film Festival (October 8–12, 2015), will benefit the Festival’s year-round programming initiatives, the annual Screenwriters’ Lab, and the longtime summer initiatives; SummerDocs and the Student Filmmaking Workshops.

As part of the Awards Dinner, Emily Blunt will be presented with the Variety Creative Impact in Acting Award.  Blunt has been to the festival previously in 2005 when she was recognized as one of HIFF’s Rising Stars [now Ten Actors to Watch] program in 2005 in conjunction with her performance in GIDEON’S DAUGHTER, for which she won a Golden Globe. One of the most gifted actresses of her generation, Blunt’s versatility as a performer can be witnessed in films such as THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, THE YOUNG VICTORIA, EDGE OF TOMORROW, INTO THE WOODS, and the upcoming release SICARIO, in which she stars as an FBI agent enlisted by an elected government task force to aid in the escalating war against drugs at the border area between the U.S. and Mexico. The Lionsgate film also stars Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin.

Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler, who founded the New York-based production company Killer Films in 1995, will be honored with the HIFF Industry Award for 20 years of innovative, risk-taking movies and for consistently championing unique voices in independent cinema. Killer Films has produced several of the most acclaimed American independent films over the past two decades, including CAROL, STILL ALICE, which made its US Premiere at last year’s Closing Night of HIFF with Julianne Moore in attendance, FAR FROM HEAVEN, BOYS DON’T CRY, HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, HAPPINESS, and KIDS. 

Legendary documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles will receive a posthumous tribute. Maysles passed away in March 2015, leaving a rich cinematic legacy, including GREY GARDENS, GIMME SHELTER, SALESMAN, and IRIS, which won HIFF’s Audience Award last year for Documentary.

HIFF founding board member, Stuart Match Suna, will be honored for his 18 years as Board Chairman. After this year’s festival, Suna will step into the Chair Emeritus role, handing the Chairman reins over to longtime board members Randy Mastro and Alec Baldwin. Under Suna’s leadership, the Festival expanded into Southampton, Montauk, Sag Harbor, and Westhampton, and evolved into a year-round cultural organization dedicated to championing film culture. Alec Baldwin will present the award to Suna.

“The Hamptons International Film Festival was founded to celebrate independent voices in cinema, and it is in that spirit that we choose to fete this extraordinary group of individuals, each of whom has made a remarkable impact on independent film culture,” said Executive Director Anne Chaisson.  “Also, it is with great admiration that we celebrate our outgoing chairman Stuart Match Suna.  His vision and support over the past 18 years has led HIFF to where it is today.”
