Coming Attractions at Sag Harbor Cinema

“Hedwig and the Angry Inch” for Pride, “Mars Attacks!” with a science presentation, two documentaries with special guests, an event with The Steinbeck House and an exhibit from artist Sabina Streeter are all taking place at Sag Harbor Cinema in the weeks ahead

Following the Memorial Day weekend opening of a brand new gallery exhibit on the third floor, “Vacanze Romane” featuring the art of Sabina Streeter, which will run through June 30, Sag Harbor Cinema will continue a packed program of screenings, events and Q&As.

Saturday, May 31, at 7 p.m.: In celebration of Pride month, the cinema will host a screening of beloved 2001 cult classic “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” in collaboration with Hamptons Pride. The screening will be followed by a live, virtual Q&A with the film’s writer-director-star John Cameron Mitchell, who will also appear and perform as a special guest grand marshal at this year’s Pride Parade on Saturday, June 7, in East Hampton.

Sunday, June 1, at 6 p.m.: As part of the cinema’s ongoing Science on Screen initiative, Dr. Tetyana Delaney, a professor of biology at St. Joseph College, will join the cinema for a talk about her training as part of the crew of a Mars Mission organized by NASA in collaboration with Russia’s Institute of Biomedical Problems. Dr. Delaney’s presentation will be followed by a screening of Tim Burton’s 1996 subversive classic “Mars Attacks!”

Friday, June 6, at 6 p.m.: Following its critically acclaimed opening in New York, the cinema will host a special screening of “Drop Dead City,” the first-ever documentary about the New York City fiscal crisis of 1975, an extraordinary, overlooked episode in urban American history that saw an already crumbling city of 8 million people brought to the edge of bankruptcy and social chaos by a perfect storm of greed, incompetence, ambitious social policy and poor governance. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the film’s director Michael Royhatin and former Sag Harbor Mayor Jim Larocca, who at the time was an economic advisor of Governor Drew Carey.

“At a time when the very function of government is being destroyed from within, an extraordinary historical documentary, ‘Drop Dead City,’ puts the workings and responsibilities of government front and center,” wrote Richard Brody about the film, in The New Yorker.

Tuesday, June 24, at 6 p.m.: The cinema, in collaboration with The Steinbeck Writers’ Retreat, will screen an episode of “Fargo,” followed by a conversation with the acclaimed series’ showrunner Noah Hawley. Hawley has been named the Steinbeck Writers’ Retreat 2025 Writer-in-Residence by the Michener Center for Writers at the University of Texas at-Austin.

Thursday, June 26: The cinema, in collaboration with The Church, on the occasion of its new exhibit “The Ark,” will present the documentary “Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, the Mistress, and the Tangerine,” followed by a conversation between director Amei Wallach, Sag Harbor Cinema’s artistic director Giulia D’Agnolo Vallan and The Church’s executive director Sheri Pasquarella. Time will be announced.
