Sneak Peek
"Nora," an independent feature film directed, written by, and starring Anna Campbell, will have a sneak preview screening at Sag Harbor's Bay Street Theater on Sunday afternoon at 2:30.
Ms. Campbell's first feature, "Nora," follows a woman who gives up her career in music to return to her hometown and focus on her 6-year-old child, a new house, and a new school year. Her dreams and ambitions, however, are not so easily set aside.
In making the movie, Ms. Campbell examined her own relationship to motherhood and her desire to make something of herself, says a release. Her acting resume includes "Mad Men," "Leverage," "Teachers," and "NCIS."
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Ms. Campbell, Angela LaGreca, a producer, writer and comedian, and Kate Mueth, an actor, director, and founder of Neo-Political Cowgirls. Gianna Volpe of WLIW-FM will moderate.
Doors will open at 2; receptions will precede and follow the film. Tickets are $20.
Book Talk
Michelle Fiordaliso, a writer and filmmaker whose most recent book, "Rejected: Essays on Belonging," was published last month, will be at The Church in Sag Harbor on Sunday at noon for a conversation with Lindsay Morris, whose black-and-white photographs accompany each essay.
"These essays are about self-love, embracing the difficult transitions, and discovering community even in times of isolation," says Ms. Fiordaliso. She and Ms. Morris will discuss the inspiration for the book and the collaborative process, which Ms. Fiordaliso believes is gaining new traction in the post-Covid world.
Tickets are $10, free for Church members who R.S.V.P.
Sundance Prize Winner
In collaboration with Cinema Tropical, the Parrish Art Museum will host a screening of "In the Summers," a 2024 film directed by Alessandra Lacorazza, Friday at 6 p.m. It won the U.S. Grand Jury Prize for best dramatic feature at this year's Sundance Film Festival.
The film is about two sisters who live in California but travel every summer to Las Cruces, N.M., to spend time with their loving but unpredictable father. Over the course of four summers, the sisters learn to appreciate the father as a person, despite his flaws and limitations.
The Sundance jury citation said, "A film like this can easily slip through the cracks and for that reason we have chosen to shed light on this beautiful piece of cinema and we hope it finds the audience it so well deserves."
The film is in Spanish with English subtitles. Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for senior citizens, $15 for members' guests, $13 for museum members and Friends of Project Most, $10 for students, and $5 for children.
