David Nugent Previews the 2025 Hamptons International Film Festival

This week, we're joined by David Nugent, the chief creative officer of the Hamptons International Film Festival, which begins October 3 with screenings at the Playhouse taking place October 9 - 12. If you're lucky enough to have access to a festival of this caliber, it means that you can take the temperature on the state of world cinema from many angles at once. This year's lineup does that with highlights from other festivals. Our conversation covers a lot of those, as well as Nugent's history with the festival and his thoughts on the curatorial process as a whole.
