'All Me' Wins Hamptons Take 2 Film Festival Audience Award

"All Me: The Life & Times of Winfred Rembert," won the audience award at the Hamptons Take 2 Documentary Film Festival earlier this month.

Jacqui Lofaro, founder and executive director of the sixth annual festival, which was held at Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor from Dec. 6 to 8, announced the winner of the 2013 Brown Harris Stevens Audience Award, which went to the 74-minute film that screened on Dec. 7.

The film chronicles the journey of Winfred Rembert, an African-American artist who was on a chain gang in a Georgia prison 7 years earlier, where he learned how to tool and dye brightly-colored leather canvases, many depicting the cotton culture and the injustices of life in the segregated South of the 1950s and 1960s.

Now in his 60s, Rembert lives in New Haven, Conn. He had had a retrospective of his art, and has a 50-piece exhibit traveling around the United States.

"All Me" was directed by Vivian Ducat, co-produced by Mark Urman, edited by Michael Culyba and filmed by David Gayne.
