Hamptons-Based Arts Center Launching Year-Round Friday Night Film Series

Film buffs rejoice because starting Friday, February 16, Southampton Arts Center (SAC) will offer screenings of new releases, award-winning documentaries, best of fest selections, and other exciting viewings every Friday night.

“We know there is an audience for these critically acclaimed, less-commercial films and are excited to have such wide-ranging capabilities with our new system,” explained Amy Kirwin, Southampton Arts Center Director of Programs. “We look forward to continuing our partnership with Hamptons International Film Festival, as well as presenting with new partners such as Hamptons Take 2 Documentary Film Festival and Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center.”

The programming comes after a major update to SAC’s theatre, which includes a brand-new screen, cozy new seating, a surround sound system, state-of-the-art projector, and digital cinema package (DCP).

“We’re thrilled to bring internationally acclaimed documentaries to Southampton – the films were selected to reach a broad audience and with the intention of stimulating lively conversation at Dine & Discuss,” added SAC Board Member Elyn Kronemeyer, who is responsible for bringing the annual Mountainfilm on Tour festival to the Hamptons.

Additionally, for moviegoers who want to make a night out of it, a special “Dine & Discuss” deal will be available, starting on Friday, February 23. Each Friday, a local eatery will offer a discount and/or a pre-fixe menu on the eve of the viewing. The first will take place at Union Cantina in Southampton, and other participating restaurants will be announced in the upcoming weeks.

“We are also very excited to debut Dine & Discuss – Continue the Conversation!” Kirwin added. “After each Friday night film, a local restaurant will host a communal table to allow attendees to discuss the film over dinner with other audience members.”

Several of the viewings will feature insight directly from the filmmakers and industry professionals, who will be in attendance.

Friday night films will kick-off on Friday, February 16 with Growing Farmers, presented with Peconic Land Trust. A panel discussion moderated by Meghan Harlow, Editor of Edible East End, with the film’s producer Michael Halsband, Trust’s Senior Manager of Agricultural Programs Dan Heston, farmers Fred Lee of Sang Lee Farms, Greg Kessler of The Hoppy Acre, and Jennifer Halsey-Dupree of the Milk Pail Farm will follow the 17-minute documentary.

Additional screening will include Dina, the Grand Jury Prize winner at Sundance Film Festival, on Friday, February 23, The Divine Order, presented as part of the Hamptons International Film Festival’s Now Playing series, on Friday, March 2, Step on Friday, March 9 (a Q&A and reception with Producer Steven Cantor will follow the screening), and A Suitable Girl, winner of the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival Albert Maysles Best New Documentary Director Award, on Friday, March 16.

Milton Glazer – To Inform and Delight will screen as part of the 2018 THAW­Fest on Friday, March 23. Presented with the Hamptons Take 2 Documentary Film Festival, a panel discussion with Filmmaker Wendy Keys and Walter Bernard, graphic designer and partner with Milton Glaser will follow.

Presented with Hamptons Take 2 Documentary Film Festival, a Q&A with Director/Producer Josh Howard will follow The Lavender Scare screening.

Lotte Nielsen’s YAOI – A Trilogy will screen on Sunday, March 4.
