A day pass is $10; admission is free for Parrish members. There will be no admission charge for the evening’s final film, “Shoot the Messenger,” which will be screened Saturday at 8:30 p.m.

In addition to the Saturday films, the Festival will present two special programs at the Southampton Cultural Center. A screening of the 44-minute film “Men II Boys” will take place Thursday, November 4, at 7 p.m. The film will be followed by a panel discussion led by the film’s director, Janks Morton, that will address such questions as, “What is a man?” and “What is the single greatest challenge facing Black America?” The program is free, but seating is limited.
