The winner of the 2013 Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Feature Film Prize at the Hamptons International Film Festival is Decoding Annie Parker, directed by Steven Bernstein. Based on a true story, the film follows a woman (Samantha Morton) who is diagnosed with breast cancer, after already losing her mother and sister to the disease, and a geneticist (Helen Hunt) who, after spending years researching the breast-cancer gene, makes a breakthrough discovery. The East Coast premiere of the film will take place at the festival on October 11, followed by a panel discussion with subject Annie Parker and Bernstein.
