For the week of August 19 and continuing, Hamptons Doc Fest has added “Mike Wallace is Here” to its Fest Favorite lineup on the hamptonsdocfest.com website.

Directed by Avi Belkin and screened at the 2019 Hamptons Doc Fest, “Mike Wallace Is Here” (90 min., 2019) features CBS’s “60 Minutes” fearsome newsman Mike Wallace who, for over 50 years, went head-to-head with the 20th century’s most influential figures. Wallace died in 2012, and the film relies exclusively on archival footage to interrogate the interrogator, tracking Wallace’s storied career and troubled personal life, while revealing how broadcast journalism has evolved to today.

Other films also still available through the Hamptons Doc Fest website, most with Q&As from the directors’ appearances at the Hamptons Doc Fest film festival in previous years, are “Terrence McNally: Every Act of Life,” “Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am,” “In Search of Israeli Cuisine,” “Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise,” “The Biggest Little Farm,” “Three Identical Strangers,” “The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution,” “Spielberg,” “Life, Animated,” “Very Semi-Serious,” “Free Solo,” “To a More Perfect Union: U.S. v. Windsor,” “Marvin Booker Was Murdered,” the new first-run documentary “Beyond the Visible: Hilma af Klint,” “Dads” for Father’s Day, “Pick of the Litter,” “Jane Fonda in Five Acts,” the new first-run documentaries “John Lewis: Good Trouble” and “Spaceship Earth,” “A Moment in Time: Hamptons Artists,” “What Happened, Miss Simone?” and new first-run documentaries “The Fight” and “Denise Ho: Becoming the Song.”
