The 19th Annual Hamptons International Film Festival, which runs from October 13th to 17th, has announced two high-profile films as its centerpiece and closing night features.

Drake Doremus’s Like Crazy, which won this year’s Sundance Grand Jury Prize, is this year’s centerpiece film, and its lead actor Anton Yelchin will be honored as one of this year’s breakthrough performers. The closing film is Michel Hazanavicius’s The Artist, the contemporary silent film that won lead actor Jean Dujardin Cannes’ Best Actor award, set to be released by the Weinstein Company November 23.

The festival has also announced The Bully Project, Lee Hirsch’s exposé on bullying among American youth, will receive the Brizzolara Family Foundation Award for a film of Conflict & Resolution, a signature prize at the festival for the last 12 years. (Source)
