Surf Event at The End
The Hero Beach Club in Montauk is holding an evening devoted to surf culture Thursday evening at 6:30. The centerpiece will be a sneak-peek film showing of "Black Surfers in the Concrete Jungle," a work-in-progress by Mosiah Moonsammy about an Afro-Caribbean surfer who moves to New York City in the 1990s and decides to open a surf shop in the Rockaways.
The evening will begin with live music, hors d'oeuvres, pizza, and chicken from Herb's Market. A panel discussion at 8 will include Mr. Moonsammy, Katherine King, a surfer and a filmmaker; Tony Carimanico, a renowned surfer and an artist, Autumn Kitchens, a surfer and model; Ymani Halle, an artist, and the Beach Girls, artists and band members.
The screening, to be followed by a question-and-answer session, will begin at 8:30. Live music by Ymani will top off the event. The evening is free, but a donation to the GoFundMe page for "Black Surfers in the Concrete Jungle" has been suggested.
Black Film Classic
As the second part of the fourth annual Black Film Festival, the Sag Harbor Cinema, in collaboration with the Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreational Center, will screen "Daughters of the Dust," Julie Dash's 1991 portrait of Southern culture and the first feature film by an African-American woman to be distributed theatrically in the United States.
Set for next Thursday at 6:30 p.m., the film follows a day in the life of a multigenerational Gullah family in South Carolina as it prepares to migrate to the North. It was inspired in part by the Gullah origins of the filmmaker's father.
