Fate doesn’t knock. It hitchhikes. Edgar G. Ulmer’s “Detour” (1945) is pulp poetry shot on fumes and desperation - and it has never looked more hauntingly beautiful than in its first major restoration.

Following the screening, National Book Critics Circle Award winner and biographer, essayist, and critic Robert Polito Robert Polito sits down with film essayist, collector, and curator Robert M. Rubin for a Q&A. The evening closes with a toast and a signing of Polito’s new book “After the Flood: Inside Bob Dylan’s Memory Palace” in the Summer Noir exhibit.

Noir never looked this good. Or felt this inevitable.

Summer Noir is heating up. 🖤

Gun Crazy (1950) - Mon 6/8, 6:30pm
Joseph H. Lewis’s most dangerous love story. A gun-obsessed drifter meets a carnival sharpshooter and the two of them burn everything down together. Peggy Cummins is incandescent. The fuse is already lit.

The Last Seduction (1994) - Fri 6/12, 9:30pm
Linda Fiorentino walks into a small town with stolen drug money, a missing husband, and absolutely no intention of being caught. John Dahl’s neo-noir is ice-cold, wickedly funny, and completely merciless.

Two films. Two obsessions. One week to see them on the big screen.

Chasing the American Myth. 🎬 When Director Josh Safdie sat down with Giulia D’Agnolo Vallan (SHC Artistic Director) to unpack his film Marty Supreme, the conversation spun into something much larger than a period piece about 1950s table tennis. It became an autopsy of the American Dream.

In this clip, Safdie maps the collision between hustle and heartache, tracing how a subculture of New York outcasts used relentless, lonely ambition to fight for a sense of dignity. He explains how the concept of rugged individualism eventually morphed into a beautifully haunting illusion.

The weekend is here! “Backrooms,” the early summer’s most talked-about debut, arrives today. Director Kane Parsons, just 21, adapts his viral web series into a feature-length thriller set in a liminal basement of endless rooms, with Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve doing something rare: bridging genre and arthouse. Also opening, “Tuner,” Daniel Roher’s (“Navalny”) first narrative feature, a NY Times Critics’ Pick about a piano tuner whose gifted ear leads him somewhere unexpected.

Monday, our Summer Noir series continues with Joseph H. Lewis’s “Gun Crazy.” The “Trapped in the Shadows” exhibit on the third floor pairs the screening with excerpts from a rare Lewis interview, including his account of the film’s famous one-take robbery scene.

We devour culinary blogs, cooking shows, and five-star menus, so how is nearly 50% of our food ending up in the trash?

This Sunday at Sag Harbor Cinema, join us for a special Science on Screen® event that challenges how we look at what we consume, what we waste, and what we can rescue.

We are pairing the critically acclaimed documentary “Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story” with an eye opening presentation by Dr. Amanda Parkes, CTO of Mothership Materials, on the groundbreaking tech transforming agricultural waste into sustainable luxury materials.

From the farm to the back of the fridge, it is time to rethink the system.

🗓️ Sunday, June 7th at 7:00 PM
🎞️ Feature: “Just Eat It” (Directed by Grant Baldwin)
🔬 Preceded by: “Material Futures for a Post-Waste World” with Dr. Amanda Parkes

Summer Noir presents: “Niagara” (1953) | Directed by Henry Hathaway

She was the most dangerous thing at the Falls.

Celebrating Marilyn Monroe’s 100th birthday, we’re bringing back one of Hollywood’s most seductive thrillers. Rose Loomis (Monroe) and her brooding husband George (Joseph Cotten) arrive at Niagara Falls, where a chance encounter with a honeymooning couple slowly unravels into a web of jealousy, betrayal, and shocking darkness. A lurid Technicolor stunner that cemented Monroe’s star power while revealing the dangerous, magnetic edge that made her unforgettable.

Set against the roar of one of America’s great natural wonders, Hathaway transforms a honeymoon paradise into a landscape of obsession and paranoia. This is Monroe at her most electric.

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.
