Extreme Screenings
Guild Hall’s weekend will include two screenings of substantial film and theater offerings. It begins tomorrow with the Hamptons International Film Festival’s 25th anniversary screening of “I Am Not Your Negro,” from October’s festival. The film is a meditation on James Baldwin’s unfinished manuscript “Remember This House,” which explored the lives and murders of his friends Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr.
Raoul Peck takes Baldwin’s words and melds them into archival material, connecting the past to the present and showing that there is still much left to be done to fulfill the legacy of the civil rights movement.
The film will screen at 6 p.m. Tickets are $15, $13 for members.
On Saturday, the National Theatre’s London production of “Amadeus” will be shown at 7 p.m. The theater and film classic tells the tale of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his rival Salieri in 18th-century Vienna. Tickets are $18, $16 for members.
