The Sag Harbor Cinema’s “Projections” series, the mission of which is to support the work of nonprofit organizations here, returns on Sunday from 4 to 5 p.m. to highlight the recent efforts of Hamptons Community Outreach.

A panel discussion titled “Supporting the Shinnecock,” moderated by Shawn Sachs, a cinema board member, will feature the empowerment work of the outreach group, and a short film about its home repair program on Shinnecock tribal land will be screened. 

Speakers on the panel include Marit Molin, founder and executive director of the nonprofit, Denise Silva-Dennis, one of its board members, and Becky Genia, a Shinnecock tribal member.

“No child should have their potential limited by substandard housing,” Ms. Molin said in a release from the cinema. “By renovating homes and providing prefabricated houses, we are not only improving living conditions for families, we are changing life trajectories and fostering opportunity for generations to come.”

Admission is free but reservations on the cinema’s website are required as space is limited.

The Sweet Smell of Nostalgia at Sagaponack General

Stepping into the new Sagaponack General Store, which reopened yesterday after being closed since 2020, is a sweet experience, and not just because there’s a soft-serve ice cream station on the left and what promises to be the biggest penny candy selection on the South Fork on your right, but because it’s like seeing an old friend who, after some struggle, made it big. Really, really big.
