Surf Films Catch a Wave to Southampton Arts Center

What better way to welcome summer in the Hamptons than with “Surf Movie Night,” a free program of short, noncommercial surf movies that will be shown under the stars at the Southampton Arts Center tomorrow at 8:30. 

The program was created by the photographer and filmmaker Michael Halsband, who selected the films with Chris Gentile, the owner of Pilgrim Surf Shop, and Taylor Steele, a surf filmmaker. Guests have been advised to bring chairs, blankets, and picnics, unless it’s raining, in which case the screening will be held in the center’s theater.

On Sunday at 4 p.m. the center will co-present with Via Brooklyn “A Night of Hitchcock: Talk, Theater, and Screening of ‘The 39 Steps.’ ” A film historian will speak about Hitchcock’s legacy, the cast of Via Brooklyn will perform a teaser for their upcoming play at the center of ‘The 39 Steps,’ and the Hitchcock classic will be shown. Tickets are $35, $20 for children, and include concessions, wine, and beer.
