Mariska Hargitay‘s Jayne Mansfield HBO documentary, My Mom Jayne, will be screened as part of HamptonsFilm’s SummerDocs series.
This year’s installment will kick off with My Mom Jayne on Thursday July 17. The film, Hargitay’s feature directorial debut, had its world premiere at Cannes and is set to screen at New York’s Tribeca Festival in June before its HBO premiere in June.
SummerDocs will also feature a screening of the coming-of-age documentary, Middletown, directed by Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss about a group of students and their renegade English teacher who made an investigative documentary that rocked their upstate New York community, on Aug. 29. Both screenings will take place at East Hampton’s Guild Hall and be followed by conversations with HamptonsFilm co-chair Alec Baldwin and artistic director David Nugent.
“Now in its 17th year, our SummerDocs Series continues to spotlight some of the most talked-about and buzzy documentaries of the season, and 2025 is no exception,” Nugent said in a statement. “The two films we’ve selected this summer have already generated outstanding audience response, and we’re thrilled to share them with our East End audiences.”
HamptonsFilm has also set the lineup for its free outdoor screenings on Wednesday nights throughout the summer at East Hampton’s Herrick Park and Main Beach. This year’s outdoor screenings include Top Gun: Maverick (July 9), Jaws (July 23), Elf (July 30), School of Rock (Aug. 6), Toy Story (Aug. 13) and Barbie (Aug. 20).
