Join the Celebration of Kenneth Cole's Legacy at the SASIFF Closing Night

The Donald M. Ephraim Sun & Stars International Film Festival Hosting An Inspiring Closing Night Premiere

The much-anticipated closing night of The Donald M. Ephraim Sun & Stars International Film Festival (SASIFF) is set to take place on February 6, 2026. This prestigious film festival, hosted by MorseLife, concludes its season with a captivating documentary, A MAN WITH SOUL: THE IMPACT OF KENNETH COLE, which explores the intersection of fashion and philanthropy championed by the iconic designer Kenneth Cole.

Held at the elegant Glazer Hall in Palm Beach, the evening promises to be a remarkable blend of cinema and fashion culture. Guests will be greeted with a cocktail reception starting at 6 PM, followed by the screening of the documentary at 7:30 PM. This unique film, directed by Emmy-winning director Dori Berinstein, not only delves into Cole's journey as a fashion innovator but also highlights his dedication to causes such as AIDS awareness, homelessness, and LGBTQIA+ rights.

Kenneth Cole, known for his distinctive strategy that marries commerce with compassion, has used his platform to bring light to pressing social issues. The documentary showcases his iconic marketing campaigns—like the glittering AIDS benefits at the Cannes Film Festival and his thought-provoking Times Square billboards—that blend humor and social commentary.

The event will feature discussions with prominent figures in fashion and film, including major designers such as Donna Karan, Sam Edelman, and Andrew Rosen, along with Dori Berinstein. The audience will have the opportunity to engage in a dialogue moderated by SASIFF’s Artistic Director, Barbara Scharres.

Tickets for this incredible event are priced at $125 and can be purchased online at www.sasiff.org. This includes not just the documentary screening but also the vibrancy of a cultural night that encapsulates the spirit of Palm Beach.
