This event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

Barry Sonnenfeld, the acclaimed Hollywood producer and director of blockbusters such as MEN IN BLACK, GET SHORTY and THE ADDAMS FAMILY, began his career as an exemplary cinematographer.  Sonnenfeld is known for his unforgettable work on classic films such as RAISING ARIZONA, MILLER’S CROSSING, BIG and WHEN HARRY MET SALLY, among many others.  This one-hour event, moderated by David Schwartz, Chief Curator at the American Museum of the Moving Image, will feature clip presentations, trade secrets and tips on lighting for film.

Each year, The Hamptons International Film Festival and Kodak partner to present the Master Class with a leading cinematographer. Past guests have included Michael Ballhaus (GOODFELLAS, THE DEPARTED), Frederick Elmes (THE ICE STORM, WILD AT HEART, THE NAMESAKE) and Ellen Kuras (ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND, SUMMER OF SAM).  The class is one of the highlights of the festival.
