Baldwin to interview Joel at film fest

EAST HAMPTON, N.Y., Aug. 17 (UPI) -- Alec Baldwin is to interview his fellow Long Island, N.Y., native Billy Joel during a program at the Hamptons International Film Festival, organizers said.

The actor and the rocker are to conclude the festival's "SummerDocs" series with a screening of "The Last Play at Shea" Sept. 4, followed by a question-answer session at Guild Hall in East Hampton.

"What a great way to celebrate the last in the 'SummerDocs' series with a film about a Long Island native, Billy Joel, and the New York Mets," Hamptons International Film Festival Executive Director Karen Arikian said in a statement Tuesday. "The second year of this series proved a huge success and we are looking forward to this years' film festival to continue to bring the community great films."

"We are thrilled to have the music legend Billy Joel participate in our program and discuss his history with Shea Stadium," Director of Programming David Nugent said.
