Throughout August, Sag Harbor Cinema continues to bring outstanding cinematic experiences safely and comfortably to you - both at home with the Virtual Cinema (this week we are featuring Rebuilding Paradise, director Ron Howard’s highly anticipated new documentary on the fires that ravaged California in 2018) and to your car at the Havens Beach Drive-in.
“As totally unexpected as it was for us only a few months ago, the summer drive-in program has allowed us to be able to offer our audience the big screen experience that is at the core of Sag Harbor Cinema mission. We cherish the collaboration with the Village who has generously allowed us to ‘camp’ at Heavens Beach once a week on, what so far, have been gorgeous Sunday nights,” says Sag Harbor Cinema artistic director Giulia D’Agnolo Vallan.

SAG HARBOR CINEMA VIRTUAL CINEMA
Opening this Friday, July 31st in the Sag Harbor Cinema Virtual Cinema is Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard’s powerful and heartbreaking new documentary Rebuilding Paradise (2020). On the morning of Nov. 8, 2018, a devastating firestorm engulfed the picturesque city of Paradise, California. By the time the Camp Fire was extinguished, it had killed 85 people, displaced 50,000 residents and destroyed 95% of local structures. It was the deadliest U.S. fire in 100 years — and the worst ever in California’s history. Rebuilding Paradise is a moving story of resilience in the face of tragedy, as a community ravaged by disaster comes together to recover what was lost and begin the important task of rebuilding.
The film comes on the heels of National Geographic’s wildly successful documentary films Free Solo (the 2019 Academy Award-, BAFTA- and seven-time Emmy Award-winning film) and The Cave (nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2020).
