The Sag Harbor Cinema is continuing its celebration of the centennial of Columbia Pictures with screenings of three film classics.

Pamela Yates and Paco de Onis will be at the cinema on Sunday at 6 for a showing of their new documentary, "Borderland | The Line Within," which explores the increasing criminalization of undocumented immigrants. Wendy Keys, the founder of the Human Rights Watch Film Festival, will moderate a post-screening discussion with the filmmakers.

Architecture’s Future
A talk and book signing with Robert Cody, an architect and co-author of "Alvar Aalto and the Future of Architecture," will take place at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill on June 13 at 1 p.m. The program is co-presented with A.I.A. Peconic.
Mr. Cody and his co-author, Angela Amoia, are partners at Amoia Cody Architecture in Brooklyn and professors at the New York Institute of Technology School of Architecture and Design.
The book looks to Aalto (1898-1976), a prominent Finnish architect and designer, as a way into many topics -- history, theory, design, construction, technology, science, ecology, sensory experience, and digital design -- and their effect on the material choices facing architecture today.
Tickets are $20, $18 for senior citizens, $15 for A.I.A. Peconic members and Parrish members' guests, $10 for Parrish members, free for students and children.
Botanical Latin
The lecture series of the Horticultural Alliance of the Hamptons will bring Jennifer Bakshi to the Bridgehampton Community House on Sunday at 2 p.m. to talk about Botanical Latin.
Vernacular names for plants often differ according to the region or country. The use of Latin as the basis for the universal system was codified in the late 1700s by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus, who designed the system of using two designations -- a genus and a specific epithet -- to name every plant species.
Ms. Bakshi, who teaches Botanical Latin and plant morphology at the New York Botanical Garden, also runs a landscape design business. Her talk will touch on binomial nomenclature, including relevant Latin fundamentals, the rules governing pronunciation, and a few common Botanical Latin root words.
Tickets are $10, free for members.
