The Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center’s Artists Love Movies series will present “SPF-18,” the first feature film by Alex Israel, on Sunday at 6 p.m. at the Southampton Arts Center.

“SPF-18” is a coming-of-age story about four teenagers who get to spend their post-graduation summer in Keanu Reeves’s Malibu beach house. A tribute to beach culture and teen surfer films of the 1980s and 1990s, it features big names of that era like Molly Ringwald, Rosanna Arquette, Pamela Anderson, and Mr. Reeves. Goldie Hawn narrates.

The screening will be followed by a discussion between Mr. Israel, who lives in Los Angeles, and Giulia D’Agnolo Vallan of the cinema arts center’s programming committee. Tickets are $10.

A post-screening cocktail reception with hors d’oeuvres and a margarita bar will take place from 7:30 to 9:30. The cost is $150 for the film and reception, $75 for people 30 and under. Proceeds will benefit the construction of the cinema arts center.
