Sag Harbor Cinema Announces Executive Director And Continues “Present Tense” Series

Nicole BarylskibyNicole Barylski

Home Arts

The Sag Harbor Cinema has brought on Gillian Gordon, a resident of Springs, as its first Executive Director.

The award winning producer and educator’s career has taken her to the US, UK and Asia. For the past 28 years, she has utilized her creative expertise as an Executive and Producer with a resume that spans from film production (former COO of Harmony Pictures in Los Angeles) to teacher to BAFTA Film Festival Judge to Media Development Agency (Singapore) Film Consultant, and more. She has also produced a number of successful TV dramas for the BBC and ITV. Gordon has served as a Senior Lecturer and Director of Graduate Studies Taught in Media Arts at Royal Holloway, University of London since 2006, and also served as an Associate Arts Professor of NYU, Tisch School of the Arts Asia from 2009-2012, and Chair of the MA International Media Producing in Singapore.

Gordon, who was raised at Princeton University, has long-lasting ties to the East End, as her father, WWII hero Ernest Gordon, was the minister of the Presbyterian Church in Amagansett.

“Gillian’s qualifications were stunning, but what especially impressed those of us on the Search Committee was the way she quickly began inspiring us with her new, fresh ideas both for fundraising and for the Cinema itself,” April Gornik, head of the Board of the Cinema, remarked. “Her profound knowledge of and active participation in film and filmmaking, and her devotion to education and insistence on participation for every age group and cultural background in the Cinema, were determining factors in her hiring. We were entirely won over by her dynamism!”

As for programming, a screening of Gregory La Cava’s Gabriel Over the White House (1933) is up next for the Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center. Presented as part of the Present Tense series, the afternoon will feature a special presentation, crafted for the Sag Harbor Cinema, by Bruce Goldstein, Repertory Program Director of New York’s Film Forum.

“With its wealth of programs, rich history and loyal audience, New York’s Film Forum has been a great inspiration in our conception of the Sag Harbor Cinema. Its director of Repertory Programming, Bruce Goldstein, is one of the geniuses in the business, a great showman as much as he is a sophisticated film historian – who strongly believes that the best place to see movies is with other people, on a big screen, in a theater,” Giulia D’Agnolo Vallan, head of the Cinema’s Programming Committee, relayed. “Bruce is also a friend and a personal inspiration of mine. I am thrilled about the special program he is bringing to us for the Present Tense series, and I hope this is just the beginning of a long collaboration that can flourish once the new Sag Harbor Cinema will be completed and open.”

Set during the Great Depression, Gabriel Over the White House explores what happens when Judson Hammond (Walter Huston), a seemly passive people pleaser, is elected United States president. After a life changing incident, Hammond is inspired to become a different man, leading to far-reaching, drastic changes to the government, including the shocking dissolution of Congress and the revoking of the Constitution.

The film was released by MGM during the pivotal first 100 days of the Roosevelt presidency. Some historians believe it is the most critical political movie made in Pre-Code Hollywood (films made prior to the adoption of the Motion Pictures Production Code’s censorship guidelines, in 1934). The film was financially supported by billionaire media mogul William Randolph Hearst, who also offered uncredited creative contribution.

According to the Library of Congress: “The good news: Hammond reduces unemployment, lifts the country out of Depression, battles gangsters and Congress, and brings about world peace. The bad news: he’s Mussolini.”

“A mess of political tripe superlatively hoked up into a picture of strong popular possibilities, Walter Wanger’s first Metro production as a supervisor is a cleverly executed commercial release [from the anonymous novel of the same name],” Variety said, while of Mordaunt Hall of The New York Times lauded, “Mr. Huston gives a vigorous and emphatic portrayal of Hammond. He reveals the man’s weaknesses in the beginning and his vision and strength in the latter phases. He delivers the various speeches with vehemence.”

Goldstein, who founded Rialto Pictures, a distribution company specializing in classic re-release, played a big part in the popularization of “Pre-Code” movies. “He is a celluloid warrior, a dedicated cinephile-activist, a fighter for old movies and new prints, for weeklong revivals and knowledgeable reviews. For going on a quarter of a century, he’s been New York film culture’s indispensable man,” film critic Jim Hoberman said about Goldstein.

The screening will take place at Pierson High School Auditorium on Sunday, March 17 at 3 p.m. Admission is $15.

Pierson High School Auditorium is located at 200 Jermain Avenue in Sag Harbor. For more information, visit www.sagharborcinema.org.

  • From Garden to Plate: Hunter Mangano’s Journey at Shou Sugi Ban House

At Shou Sugi Ban House in Water Mill, you are immersed in the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, or the art of impermanence. Known for its spa, nutrition, and lodging facilities, Shou Sugi Ban House was designed by New York and Hamptons architect Debbie Kropf, who artfully chose to infuse elements of the local Hamptons landscape with Japanese principals similar to that of the “ryokan” or a traditional Japanese inn. Aside from its serene and upscale spa services, Shou Sugi Ban House is set apart by its on-property greenhouse, gardens, berry patch, and orchard, all of which are used to make meals for guests of SSBH. @shousugibanhouse

  • The Best Coffee Shops in the Hamptons For a Perfect Brew

For coffee lovers, there’s nothing quite like heading into a local coffee joint, taking solace in the fact that it’s not an international chain. Quaint vibes alongside java that is brewed fresh and local is an experience that simply can’t be replicated at places like Starbucks, Panera, and Dunkin’. Not to say quality coffee can’t be found at these establishments, of course, there is a reason they are the most famous coffee chains in the world after all. But, in the Hamptons, it has always been about small-town charm and chain-everything being few and far between, from stores to restaurants to cafes and beyond.

So, whether you’re a Hamptons local, a vacationer on the East End, or are simply looking for the best local coffee spots in the area, we have a list of 10 must-try coffee shops for you.

  • A Glimpse Inside…East Hampton’s Most Talked About New Construction, Now Complete

Just completed in August 2023, 6 Marley Lane has quickly become one of the Hamptons’ most talked about new constructions. Exclusively represented by The Vince Horcasitas Team at Saunders & Associates, to say they are excited about this rare new construction is an understatement.

Since its inception and throughout construction, the Hamptons real estate community has eagerly anticipated its completion. What has emerged at 6 Marley Lane is—almost impossibly—even more impressive in real life than in renderings.  @hamptonsrealestate @vinceinthehamptons

  • Iconic Marders, More Than a Nursery

“Marders” is the high essence of a Hamptons Nursery and so much more. It is the epitome of success, situated on 40 acres of prime Bridgehampton real estate. Charlie Marder of 120 Snake Hollow Road, along with his wife Kathleen have built a monument that has been providing their expertise and services to the residents of the Hamptons for about fifty years.

The stories are now folklore. Back in the day, usually wearing his trademark suspenders, Charlie was ever ready to move the largest trees of the Hamptons whether they were to be planted, relocated, or removed. He once boasted to this reporter that he had the record for the widest load moved by the Shelter Island South Ferry. Charlie said he deposited a tree onto the ferry on one side and fetched it off the ferry on the other side, recalling, “The tree was wider than the ferry, sticking out on both sides.” @marderslandscaping
