Fans have been daft about Big and Little Edie Beale — cloistered aunt and cousin of Jackie O. — ever since Albert and David Maysles' verité touchstone, Grey Gardens, shed light on their batty, inter-reliant habits. Indeed, that documentary has entrained The Beales of Grey Gardens, a Broadway musical, and the oh-so-pretty HBO redux with Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore. This three-day hallelujah for the damsels of the Hamptons merits its name with fresh returns to the raccoon-bitten manse — sure there are screenings of the original and the follow-up, but count the planned re-enactments, participatory cabaret, and rare audio outtakes as manna. The festival also features an elaborate, life-size diorama of the Edies' bedroom and a tell-all panel with Albert and several other Beale biographers.
