The 31st annual Hamptons International Film Festival kicked off on Thursday, October 5th.
Now on its third day, Alec Baldwin, 65, and wife Hilary Baldwin, 39, decided to bring the whole family to the event, which is held annually in East Hampton, New York.
At one point the couple managed to pull off the miraculous feat of getting all seven of their children together for a few photos on their version of the red carpet.
The proud mother and Boston native knelt down as she held her youngest, Illaria, one, dressed in navy blue jeans, a brown sweater and black leather boots.
Showing patience, the other children struck several poses that included Carmen, 10, Rafael, eight, Leonardo, seven, Romeo, five, Eduardo, three, Maria, two and Ilaria, one.

The Oscar-nominated actor, born in Amityville, New York, has been a longtime supporter of the festival, serving on the HIFF board for more than two decades and co-chairman since 2015.
Approximately 18,000 visitors attend each festival and close to a hundred films are screened each year, including annual representation of at least twenty countries and a prize package worth over $200,000.
Founded in 1992 by Joyce Robinson, HIFF serves as a celebration of independent film in its various forms, while providing a forum for independent filmmakers with diverse global perspectives.
The festival places special emphasis on new filmmakers with a diversity of ideas, as a means to not only provide public exposure to the festival’s content and its creators, but also to inspire and enlighten the audience.
