Whitney Houston documentary to be part of Hamptons Film Fest

The ninth edition of the Hamptons International Film Festival's SummerDocs series will screen five documentaries, including one about singer Whitney Houston, titled "Whitney: Can I Be Me?".

The films will be screened from July 8-August 26.

Each screening will be followed by discussions with filmmakers and subjects led by HIFF co-chairman Alec Baldwin and HIFF artistic director David Nugent, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Other films in this year's line-up are "Nobody Speak: Trials of the Free Press", "Trophy", "Take Every Wave: The Life of Laird Hamilton", and "Icarus."

"It's HIFF's 25th anniversary year and the ninth season of SummerDocs and we have a great lineup of documentary films, featuring intense drama and more entertaining fare," Baldwin said in a statement.

"Artistic director David Nugent and I believe this will be one of the best SummerDoc seasons yet."
