When the iconic Sag Harbor Cinema burned down on December 16, 2016, tributes from local residents, frequent visitors, and movie-lovers in general poured in. Billy Joel dedicated his concert the following night at Madison Square Gardens to its memory. All were agreed: the Cinema must rise again. The 1936 Art Deco theater may have been the latest in a long line of Sag Harbor movie houses, but it was not the first. In her new book Sag Harbor: 100 Years of Film in the Village, author and journalist Annette Hinkle pays tribute not only to the recently lost art-house cinema, but to all the movie houses that preceded it. An homage to a century of celluloid on Main Street, the book traces film history from the era of the silents to the Sag Harbor Cinema s nearly four decade tenure as the last independent, single-screen theater in the Hamptons. Filled with film trivia and personal recollections, while this book is a cinematic history, ultimately it is a love letter to a cultural institution that served as the heart and soul of Sag Harbor for generations.
