SLOAN PRIZE AT HIFF


Julian Schnabel�s THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY has been named the winner of the Hamptons International Film Festival�s $25,000 Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Feature Film Prize.


The prize is awarded to a feature film that, �explores science and technology themes in fresh, innovative ways and depicts scientists and engineers in a realistic and compelling fashion.�

Other Sloan events at the Hamptons include a live staged reading of Caitlin McCarthy�s WONDER DRUG (featuring actors Steve Guttenberg and Alysia Reiner) and a panel discussion about films & technology.

Tickets to the screening, the reading, and the panel are (as of this moment) available and may be obtained from HIFF.
