Jazz at Lincoln Center will return to the Southampton Arts Center for a free outdoor concert on Saturday at 4 p.m. The program takes traveling professional jazz ensembles to communities to lead interactive performances for students and families. More free jazz will be on offer Sunday at noon, when Ada Rovatti (tenor saxophone) and Bill O’Connell (piano) will perform on the center’s front steps.

The free Friday night outdoor film series, held in partnership with the Hamptons International Film Festival, will present “Tootsie” tomorrow at 8:30. The film stars Dustin Hoffman as an out-of-work actor whose fortunes change when he auditions as a woman. The series will conclude on Friday, Sept. 2, as it does every year, with “Jaws.”

On Saturday evening at 7, the center will present “Under the Gun,” a documentary narrated by Katie Couric that examines the people and events that have propelled both sides of the gun debate. A panel discussion will follow the free screening.

The center’s third annual SummerFest benefit will take place next Thursday at 6 p.m. More information and tickets, which are priced from $250 and up, are available at the center’s website.
