'Hawaii' in Sag
"The Worlds of Julie Andrews," Sag Harbor Cinema's yearlong retrospective, will continue on Sunday afternoon at 4 with a screening of "Hawaii," the film adaptation of James Michener's epic novel about the colonization of Hawaii, which starred Max von Sydow as the Rev. Abner Hale and Ms. Andrews as his new wife, Jerusha.
Directed by George Roy Hill, produced by Walter Mirisch, and written by the blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, the 1966 film also starred Gene Hackman, Richard Harris, and Carroll O'Connor.
The screening will be followed by a conversation between Giulia D'Agnolo Vallan, the cinema's artistic director, and Emma Walton Hamilton, Ms. Andrews's daughter. Tickets will be available for a tiki tasting on the third floor after the talk.
Writers on Love
All the World's a Stage, a new series featuring readings by writers at varying stages of their careers, will launch at The Church in Sag Harbor on Friday at 6 p.m. Each writer will read one work pertaining to the program's theme, which, given the proximity to Valentine's Day, is "Love Is a Verb."
Readers can be 16 and up, and the works can be in any form. Friday's readers will include Heather Buchanan, Bill Goldstein, Candace Hill, Amir Idris, Talena Mascali, Kate Mueth, Lora Tucker, Marta Lucia Vargas, and a Pierson High School junior or senior. A limited open-mic session will follow the readings. Those interested can sign up upon arrival.
The space will be transformed into a nightclub, with cafe table seating, in addition to the traditional lecture format. Regular seating is $10, table seating is $15. Refreshments will be available.

The Watermill Center's In Process series of open studios and performances of works in progress will resume on Friday at 6 p.m. with Lea Bertucci, Vinson Fraley and Company, and Tuce Yasak, current resident artists.
An experimental musician from New York City, Ms. Bertucci has performed at venues in the United States and Europe.

Ms. Yasak has created over 100 site-specific light installations for performances in this country and abroad.
