SUMMER NOIR // 5.28 | The Great Gatsby (1949) | Dir. Elliott Nugent | 35mm

Fitzgerald in the shadows.

The Jazz Age tragedy reframed as noir makes a strange and satisfying kind of sense. The greed. The borrowed name. The racketeering buried under all that champagne. Alan Ladd plays Gatsby with a quiet, layered ache, a gangster trying to outrun himself for the love of a woman across the bay. Betty Field is Daisy. Shelley Winters turns up as Myrtle, cementing her unofficial title as the most murdered woman in noir.

The film slipped into obscurity for decades until Universal struck a new 35mm print in 2012 with the Film Noir Foundation. We’re thrilled to screen it.

A special presentation kicking off the 2026 Great Gatsby Marathon. Co-presented with Canio’s. More soon.

Thursday, May 28 // 6:00pm
Intro + 35mm

SUMMER NOIR is here! Join us today at 5.30pm for a special screening of Robert Aldrich’s 1955 “Kiss Me Deadly,” followed by a Q&A with Bob Rubin - film essayist, collector, and curator of “Trapped in the Shadows: The Worlds of Film Noir.” The exhibit opens in the Cinema’s third-floor gallery immediately after the screening and remains on view all summer. View the trailer in our Story for a taste of what’s to come, and preview the exhibit below.

Don’t miss “Summer Noir”! The series runs through September, showcasing one of Hollywood’s most seductive and ever-evolving languages. Spanning the shadow-soaked fatalism of the 1940s and ‘50s to its sharper, colder reinventions in the late 20th and 21st centuries, “Summer Noir” traces the genre’s evolution from its classic roots to its modern incarnations. And mark your calendar for 5/29, when David Lynch’s “Blue Velvet” (1986) returns to the screen in a brand-new 4K restoration.

PLAYS 5/9 & 5/10 - KIDS & FAMILIES MATINEES

✶ THE CAMERAMAN ✶

Directed by Edward Sedgwick & Buster Keaton (1928)
Before TikTok. Before YouTube. Before anyone had ever heard the word “influencer” - there was Buster, a lovestruck photographer hauling a clunky motion camera through the streets of New York, trying to win the heart of a girl named Sally.
He fumbles. He flails. He films everything wrong. He films everything right.

A silent comedy of monumental sweetness and breathtaking physical genius - the film widely considered Keaton’s masterpiece, and one of the most charming love letters to the movies ever made. Bring the kids. Bring the grandparents. Bring anyone who’s ever made a fool of themselves for love.

🎟 Saturday 5/9 & Sunday 5/10

“History is a great teacher... and because of that, I think it’s a unifier.” What an incredible day at Sag Harbor Cinema! Our Founding Artistic Director, Giulia D’Agnolo Vallan, sat down with director/producer Sarah Botstein for a Q&A following a special screening of The American Revolution.

Sarah shared fascinating behind-the-scenes insights into the 10-year journey of creating this six-part epic with Ken Burns and David Schmidt. From the “multiplicity of voices” - including the essential stories of Native Americans, women, and enslaved people - to the innovative use of CGI and watercolors to bring an era before photography to life, it was a masterclass in historical storytelling.

Thank you, Sarah, for reminding us that the art of listening and the study of our shared past are more vital now than ever.

Opens April 24 | Sag Harbor Cinema | From master filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa comes a chilling, Kafkaesque descent into the heart of the Great Purge. In “Two Prosecutors,” an idealistic state lawyer (Alexander Kuznetsov) follows a blood-written plea into the depths of a Soviet prison, only to find that in a police state, the pursuit of justice is the ultimate provocation.

Drenched in atmospheric dread and sharp historical irony, Loznitsa’s latest triumph is a haunting meditation on the impunity of power and the quiet, matter-of-fact horrors of fascism.
