Lights, Camera, Submit: Hamptons International Film Festival 2026 Now Accepting Entries
34th annual East End festival returns Oct. 2–12 with premieres, Screenwriters Lab, SummerDocs and outdoor screenings.
Filmmakers, it’s your moment: the Hamptons International Film Festival is now accepting submissions for its 34th annual edition, running Oct. 2–12, 2026. Eleven days of screenings, premieres, and East End events make this festival a highlight of the season.
Submissions are open via FilmFreeway at filmfreeway.com/HamptonsFilm.
More Than a Festival
HamptonsFilm doesn’t stop in October. Its 26th annual Screenwriters Lab (April 10–12) offers emerging filmmakers intensive mentorship with seasoned writers and producers. The 18th annual SummerDocs returns with anticipated documentaries and banner screenings across the season, and family-friendly films will once again light up the night in the Outdoor Screening Series.
“It’s all about supporting cinematic talent year-round,” says David Nugent, Chief Creative Officer. “From nurturing new writers to showcasing today’s leading documentarians, our programs give audiences and filmmakers alike something to celebrate.”
A Hamptons Staple
Founded in 1992, HamptonsFilm produces the festival and year-round programming that brings international cinema to the East End. Over its 34 years, the festival has awarded more than $5 million in prizes, funds, and services, cementing its role as a premiere stop on the awards-season calendar.
