In recent years, Giulia D’Agnolo Vallan, artistic director of the new Sag Harbour Cinema, has scheduled off-site film screenings in the East End as cinema, which burned into a huge fireplace in December 2016, was rebuilt and transformed into a non-profit institution. During this period, he had plenty of time to think about what the opening film would look like when the cinema, however, was in a position to welcome the audience into space.
Now they gave him everything figured out.
“It’s an opening film,” he said. These are the first films. “
The emphasis here is on the plural, and the Memorial Day weekend, this will be precisely what it means to celebrate the opening of the Sag Harbor Cinema. With 3 cinemas of other sizes, Vallan has the flexibility to offer a diversity of multifaceted films to attract a wide diversity of the community, from the youngest to the filmmakers who might be old enough not to forget the age of darkness and silence, with some surprises and novelties for a smart move.
“It’s not about videos as such, although I’ve selected things I like, it’s to reflect the odds of cinema and our preference to venture in other directions,” Vallan explained in a recent interview. mix locally and around the world cited films, emerging filmmakers and wonderful masters. The guiding precept of my preference for percentage smart cinema and many other types of cinema and necessarily treat it as a party, where other people have a lot to do with it. “
This week’s lineup includes old classics such as “Speedy,” a 1928 silent feature film and the latest to play Harold Lloyd, and William Wellman’s 1937 film “Nothing Sacred” starring Carole Lombard and Fredric March, which represents an end to the film’s continuum, and more at the other end, John Krazinski’s new horror sequel “A Quiet Place Part II” Array , an example of the most recent hollywood exit. In the middle, there are films that many will agree that they deserve a renaissance, adding the 2013 sci-fi exhibition “Gravity” (starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney) and Alfonso Cuarón’s 2001 Mexican “Y Tu Mammo Also”.
“There’s no wonderful story in our repertoire program box, so we felt that classics and silent cinema were important,” Vallan said. “‘And your mom too’ is an attractive selection because it was made through a well-known running Mexican director. But with this film 20 years ago, he chose to go back to Mexico to do so, and that’s a defining point in his career.
Vallan adds that although Alfonso Cuarón was not required to participate in a question of questions and answers from Zoom about the film that is screened this weekend, his brother Carlos Cuarón, who co-wrote the script with him, will be. For Quentin Tarantino fans, cinema will this weekend offer a rare 35 mm screening of his 1994 film “Pulp Fiction” preceded by a compilation of Tarantino trailers from the collection of projectionist (and 35 mm enthusiast) Yves Leibowitz.
“A Tarantino movie was an herbal film, and I think Pulp Fiction would be a smart name to combine anything late this summer,” Vallan said. “Pulp Fiction” is very popular and it’s very funny, sexy and cinematic, and it’s been in my brain since I first had the idea of an opening.
“Tarantino is one of the top supporters of the 35mm and a full-size film collector,” he added. “What could be bigger than appearing one of your most important films to open our 35mm equipment?And our projectionist has a giant collection of 35mm trailers.
Although 35mm films were popular in the industry not so long ago, for cinemas renting them is not an easy proposition in the era of virtual projection. Fortunately, Vallan noted, has intelligent relationships with various studios and archives and plans to be. offer a series of 35mm projections to cinemas in the future.
“Because the 35mm is rarer, they have more reluctance to hire them,” he said. “But if you build a trusted dating, you can have them. There is an attractive network of personal creditors, such as Tarantino, Martin Scorsese. “and Joe Dante, you can touch them and if the position is reliable, they’ll lend you their impressions. There is also a network of personal creditors who advocate the purchase of copies and keep them and in some cases hire them. “
In the former Sag Harbor cinema, foreign and artistic films were at the center of worries, and films that attracted young people rarely made it to the screen, so for Vallan, a top priority is to offer mornings to the little ones. On opening weekend, he decided on Disney’s 1951 animated film, “Alice in Wonderland,” which this year celebrates its 70th anniversary.
“We said we would have mornings for young people and families, and I thought it was great to start,” said Vallan, who, at the opening of the cinema, was very happy to see films like the “Wolf Walker” animation and the Oscar-winning documentary “My Teacher Octopus” brought together a younger audience.
“The real wonder for me is young people. They got here right away. I thought there would be a preference for something like that, but I couldn’t believe they showed up on the first day,” Vallan said. From the entrance to the theater, I pinched myself because they’ve never been there before. It’s vital to me. “
It is also vital that Vallan pays tribute to the mythical local film talents, and for this, on May 28, the cinema will host the screening of DAPennebaker’s 1967 documentary “Dont Look Back” about musician Bob Dylan. In 2018, a former Sag Harbor resident with his wife and movie partner, Chris Hegedus. The cinema will show an exhibition of some of Pennebaker’s old film devices with framed photographs of Dylan from the film. Asking questions and answers with Hegedus and a special appearance through former “Saturday Night Live” band leader and Dylan contributor, GESmith will perform some of Dylan’s songs.
To make a nod to the next generation of filmmakers in the region, this weekend’s programming will also feature a screening of short films through young local filmmakers, adding one, by chance, through Pennebaker’s grandson, Nick Whelan. -Animation workshop for young people under 12 years old and a debate on Latin American cinema in English and Spanish.
“One of the guiding principles is how this cinema was rebuilt. There’s nothing like it, the effort, the enthusiasm, the roller coaster we’ve been through,” Vallan said. “It’s meant to be a movie theater, but it’s also a little special. “
Sag Harbor Cinema is located at 90 Main Street, Sag Harbor. All tickets can be obtained online at sagharborcinema. org

Then I completely cared about the concept of going further, doing what JDSalinger has done with his Glass circle of family stories where everyone builds a story, characters floating in and out. This is all novelists can do because they own their characters, they can write a novel and bring out a main character from 3 Array novels. I trusted this film and didn’t know my religion was going to be paid so well. – Quentin Tarantino (1994)
