End of Summer Sale

By Kitty Merrill

It’s going to be “all docs, all day” this weekend as the Hamptons Take 2 Documentary Film Festival celebrates its fifth year of screening documentaries with, according to organizers, “a local, Montauk to Manhattan connection.”

Documentaries will be screened for three days at Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor beginning Friday.

Film Fests At The Fore

“This year we’ve grown again,” founder and executive director Jacqui Lofaro reported in a release heralding the festival. The number of festival days has been tripled and twice as many docs will be screened. Susan Lacy, who created and produces the acclaimed PBS series “American Masters” will be honored at a gala on Saturday. And almost every film will enjoy a post-

screening Q&A with the filmmaker. “Also new for 2012, HT2FF will

present an Audience Award to the film and filmmaker that audiences vote to be the best in the festival,” Lofaro added.

“A good story can make a good doc, but a good story told with talent and heart makes a doc you’ll talk about after the theatre lights come up,” she observed.

The first “good story” comes at a real good price – free. The City Dark starts the festival at 4:30 PM. Filmed partially in Montauk, it focuses on the subject of light pollution.

Light, make that lighthouses, are the subject of Mark Costello Higgins’ Long May You Shine, which screens at 6:45 PM. It’s followed by fuel for thought in Shelter Island: Art + Friendship + Discovery, a look at the relationship between a gas station owner and artist on Shelter Island.

Saturday’s offerings run from 10 AM to 10 PM. Opening flicks are four minute student produced shorts that won the Suffolk County Film Commission’s annual “First Exposure” competition.

Around noon, Tom Garber’s Salt of the Sea is screened. (Visit www.indyeastend.com to see last week’s story about the filmmaker and his documentary.) Ross School alumna Autumn Rose Williams explores the Indian tradition of storytelling in Shinnecock: Remember the Past, Hope for the Future, following Salt of the Sea. The afternoon concludes with films depicting Kings Park, the mental institution, and an inside look at the grief parents felt following their son’s suicide.

On Sunday, six docs will be shown, each followed by Q&As. Two have a local connection. Scheduled for 3:30 PM, Harry Hellfire, tells the story of a rock musician who lives in a tent behind a graveyard in Greenport. Plimpton:

Starring George Plimpton as Himself documents the life of the sometime Hamptons resident, founding editor of The Paris Review, and fireworks enthusiast.

Tickets for each film segment are $15. A full festival pass is $100, and includes admission to the gala.

Saturday’s gala begins with a cocktail reception at the theatre at 6:30 PM. A tribute to Susan Lacy, a part-time Sag Harbor resident who’s described as a “documentary legend,” includes the screening of her favorite among the films she’s written and directed -- the Emmy award-winning Leonard Bernstein: Reaching for the Note. Bernstein’s daughter Jamie will offer opening remarks, and a panel discussion with three directors from American Masters will also be featured.

Lofaro, who is a documentary filmmaker herself said, “Susan Lacy has been responsible for building an exceptional archive of more than 185 documentary films about American cultural giants and has been involved in every aspect of the series, including selecting the artists to be profiled, hiring the teams to research and direct each film, writing grants, handling budgets and making final cuts on every documentary.” She’s profiled media mogul David Geffen, fashion designer Richard Avedon (an East Ender), Johnny Carson, Lillian Gish, Joni Mitchel, and countless other luminaries.

Tickets for the gala are $25, available at the Bay Street Box Office or online at [email protected].

Also this weekend, the ninth annual OLA Latino Film Festival takes place at the Parrish Art Museum in Watermill Saturday and Sunday (admission $10 each day).

Showing at 6 PM Saturday is Locas Mujeres (Madwomen) and at 8 PM Nostalgia de la Luz (Nostalgia for the Light). On Sunday see Jardin en el Mar (Garden in the Sea) at 3 PM and Abrazo Partido (Lost Embrace) at 5 PM.

Both festivals are sponsored by Bridgehampton National Bank.

[email protected]

The gala on Saturday will honor “American Masters” creator Susan Lacy of Sag Harbor, and screening her doc on Leonard Bernstein.

Coming Soon

Killing Them Softly (R) Brad Pitt has made the transition from pretty boy to respected actor over the last several years, most recently earning a Best Actor nod for Money Ball. He reunites with the writer/director Andrew Dominik, but unlike their last collaboration, The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford, this one looks like a winner. Pitt plays Jackie, who, along with two friends, robs a high stakes poker game, despite the fact that organized crime bigwigs are holding all the cards. Then the shooting begins. Ray Liotta, James Gandolfini and Scott McNairy co-star. Dominik has fashioned a scathing indictment of American greed and corruption, and he relies on a star turn by Pitt to deliver the message. The actor succeeds, and there is no doubt another nomination is in the cards for him.

New To Theaters

The Central Park Five Ken Burns’ documentary about five black and Latino teenagers wrongly accused of raping and beating a jogger in 1989 is an overly righteous, heavy handed indictment of the New York City police/judicial system.

New On DVDThe Amazing

Spider Man Yep. This t ime wi th a new director (Marc Webb) and a new cast. But Andrew Garfield ( T h e S o c i a l

Network) as Peter brings some chops to the role. Unlike Tobey Maguire, a somewhat nerdy Spiderman whose overly innocent gaze seldom left his face, Garfield has a chip on his shoulder -- he’s something of a rebel, and Emma Stone (The Help) is perfect as Gwen. It’s slick fare to be sure, but it’s edgy enough to distinguish itself from the original. Martin Sheen, Dennis Leary and Sally Field anchor an excellent supporting cast.

Dreams to Reality

Today’s Birthday: Jon Stewart, 1962Sixty-nine years ago to the day U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston

Churchill and Soviet leader Josef Stalin met in Tehran to form an alliance born of necessity. It would eventually cause the demise of the Third Reich. On November 28, 1990 Margaret Thatcher quit her post as British Prime Minister.

Fifty years ago Jonathan Lebowitz was born in New York City – his father taught college physics. Jonathan grew up in New Jersey, and after his parents divorced when he was 11, he seldom saw his father. He felt the sting of anti-Semitic slurs at Lawrence High School, but graduated and went on to attend The College of William and Mary.

Though a chemistry major, Lebowitz developed a reputation for his comedic skills and in 1986 appeared at the Bitter End, where his idol Woody Allen also debuted. Lebowitz chose Jon Stewart (his middle name was Stuart) as his stage name.

Stewart became a hit on the comedy circuit and was a finalist to replace David Letterman, losing out to Conan O’Brien. In 1999 Stewart became the co-host of

“The Daily Show” with Craig Kilborn, who eventually left to become host of “The Late, Late Show.” He’s been at the desk ever since, winning 16 Emmys and making stars of his sidekicks, Stephen Colbert, Rob Cordry, and Steve Carell.

Stewart and his wife, Tracey, have two children. He is somewhat reclusive but lives in a private waterfront community in North Haven, where it is said his neighbors are sworn to secrecy.

ARIES (Mar. 20 - Apr. 20) This marks the beginning of a period of true clarity. You may well discover what it is you truly want to do. Or you may find you are finally clear about the difficult choices you have been feeling the need to make. Clarity is key.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 21) You must give a greater value to your feelings this week. Your mind may be playing tricks on you, so you need to allow your feelings to be the guide. There are times when doing nothing is the exact right thing to do and this may be a week when this is the most true.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 22) The energy is certainly moving in your direction right now. Take advantage of it, for you may find you have enormous energy to get things done and make significant advances in either your career or perhaps your entire quality of life.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Best to spend this week focused on what is working and what is bringing you joy, rather than getting lost and

focused on what you think you don’t have. Focusing on what is good and pleasurable and enjoyable in your life will create an environment for you to have more of the same.

LEO (July 23 - Aug. 23) Know that you can control your thoughts; you can choose to think differently. Choose to get out of the habit of looking at the worst possible scenario or getting lost in the past and creating a reason to feel bad. If you end up bummed out, the only one responsible will be yourself. The glass IS half full.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) You simply have to trust. We can’t always know all the facts and details. We can’t always know exactly how everything in our lives will go, that is what faith is for. Trust yourself and have more faith that the Universe has your best interests in mind.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 23) Remember that you can detach yourself from people and situations which are costing you too much on an energy or emotional level. Mind your own energy and pay attention

to your needs and give others enough space to figure things out on their own.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 22) If your mind wanders to figuring out other people’s stuff, if you catch yourself thinking what another should or shouldn’t being doing with their lives, reel yourself in and bring your thoughts back to yourself. What is it you need in this moment? Bring your thoughts and your energy back to yourself and remember to honor your body.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) Getting lost in your head and digging up the fears that live in the corners is really a bad idea. You cannot judge the present by the past. You are different, you have moved through your share of tough times and here you stand facing another day. Give yourself a break and let the fear go.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21 - Jan. 20) Choose wisely what you attach your ego to. You may be getting afraid that you can lose something that is either irrelevant, or impossible for you to lose. Only the ego knows how to get serious, so check with yourself when you feel yourself getting tense.

Is it really that critical?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 19) Are you being flexible? This is not a good time to get rigid and fixed about things; going with the flow will be the better action. The energy is shifting and there is no good reason to dig your heels in or get unreasonable in your expectations of others. Lighten up.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) Great week to remember how strong you really are. Take time out to rejuvenate yourself, perhaps spend some quiet time in a bath or by the water and bring your strength back to yourself.

NOTE: If you were born at the end or beginning of a sign, read the sign before or after your birthday.

NOW, FOR THE NORTH FORK, THE Traveler Watchman TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR SINCE 1826


Ingredients (serves 4)

1 lb tuna steak1 10 oz can White beans

1 10 oz can of black beans1/4 c chopped cilantro

1/4 c chopped mint2 bell peppers1 lime juiced

1 lemon juiced1/3 c rice wine vinegar

2 tbsp sugar8 oz bag of arugula

1/2 finely diced red onion1/2 c olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

Seared Tuna With Marinated Bean Salad And

Roasted Peppers

MethodSet an oven to 400 degrees.

Lightly oil the bell peppers and cook them in the oven for 25 minutes. While the peppers are cooking, rinse and drain the canned beans and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Mix in the lemon and lime juice, cilantro, mint, sugar, olive oil, vinegar, and the diced onion. Let the bean salad marinate in the fridge while the peppers finish cooking.

When the peppers are done take them out of the oven and let them cool before removing the skins.

Once you have removed the skin and the peppers are cool, slice them into long strips.

To sear the tuna, heat a sauté pan and add a small bit of oil. Take the seasoned tuna steaks and sear about

one minute on each side for a nice medium rare to medium doneness on the fish.

To plate mix the bean salad with the arugula and peppers. Slice the tuna nice and thin and place on top.
