In its effort to support the outstanding films nominated by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in the category of Best Documentary Feature, Hamptons Doc Fest will profile and promote the five documentary nominees, starting on March 15, after the Academy’s announcement of the Oscar finalists.
Jacqui Lofaro, Hamptons Doc Fest founder and executive director, stated: “With such a strong attendance at our virtual Hamptons Doc Festival, December 4-13, with fans watching the 35 documentaries from 17 states across the country, we want to support what we are sure will be a stellar lineup of nominees. That way you can be sure to enjoy these gems before the winners are announced at the Oscar ceremony on Sunday, April 25.”
