Antonella Bertello and Jean Shafiroff Host Hamptons Film Festival Celebration at Baker House 1650
The East Hampton reception brought together art, wine and philanthropy, with wines from Ridley Scott’s French vineyard, artwork by Ashley Medici and a preview of a Palm Beach charity benefit.
Antonella Bertello, owner of The Baker House 1650, and philanthropist Jean Shafiroff welcomed guests to the historic East Hampton hotel for an autumn reception celebrating the Hamptons International Film Festival.
The gathering brought together figures from the worlds of film, fashion, art and philanthropy for an evening of cocktails, conversation and celebration during one of the East End’s biggest cultural events.
Among the highlights were wines from Mas des Infermières, the Provence vineyard owned by filmmaker Sir Ridley Scott and his family, and photography and artwork by Ashley Medici.
The reception also spotlighted the upcoming Old Bags Luncheon benefiting the Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County. The annual fundraiser, known for its designer handbags and charitable giving, supports programs serving children, families and individuals in need.
Shafiroff will co-chair the Feb. 17, 2027, luncheon alongside Lora Drasner and Marzia Precoda.
Bertello, a longtime supporter of the Hamptons arts and philanthropic communities, frequently hosts charitable and cultural gatherings at The Baker House 1650. She is also a board member of the East Hampton Village Foundation and the Greater East Hampton Chamber of Commerce.
