The Hamptons International Film Festival hosted its first Auteur Dinner Series in New York City this past Wednesday, May 27. The evening was modeled after a salon-style event, bringing together filmmakers, artists, performers and festival supporters in conversation to benefit HIFF’s summer initiatives.

In attendance were Girls star and director Alex Karpovsky, director Amir Bar-Levy (Happy Valley, My Kid That Could Paint), director Andrew Rossi (Page One: Inside The New York Times, Le Cirque), singer Victoria Zaro, former Saturday Night Live band leader G.E. Smith and more.

The evening was hosted by actress and HIFF board member Lois Robbins and her husband, Andrew Zaro, in their stunning Upper East Side apartment.
