Sunset movies, soccer and stars (the human kind) will be out on the South Fork this weekend:
FREE MOVIES
The Hamptons International Film Festival doesn’t take place until October, but its organizers will host a free Friday outdoor film series at the Southampton Arts Center throughout the summer. Movies start at sunset (around 8:30 p.m.) and you’ll want to bring your own seating and refreshments. Friday night’s film is “Ghostbusters.” 8:30 p.m., FREE; 25 Jobs Lane, Southampton, 631-283-0967
GOAL!
Just because the Hamptons are virtually devoid of sports bars doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate FIFA soccer on the East End. Rowdy Hall in East Hampton (10 Main St., 631-324- 8555) and Townline BBQ in Sagaponack (3593 Townline Rd., 631-537-2271) are serving drafts in commemorative 16-oz. World Cup cups for $6 (refills for $5), which can also be had with $8 caipirinhas, Brazil’s national cocktail ($7 refills).

We hear that:
Vanity Fair contributing editor Michael Shnayerson recently published “The Big Book of the Hamptons” ($75, Assouline), a, yes, big book perfect for your coffee table. The deluxe tome by the long-time Sag Harbor and Bridgehampton resident explores the East End’s varied architecture, from fish shacks to sprawling mansions, in large-format photographs that are paired with quotes and anecdotes from the likes of Frank Stella and Willem de Kooning.
