Giulia D’Agnolo Vallan was recently named Artistic Director of the Sag Harbor Cinema.
Giulia d’A agnolo Vallan, a film and curator based in New York that serves as a member of the programming committee and varieties of the Venice Film Festival, has been officially appointed the artistic director of SAG Harbor Cinema, where he will be guilty of programming and healing films.
Recently, she spoke about what’s ahead for the cinema and touched on “Art and Experience” an online eBay for Charity auction to benefit the cinema which runs August 28 through September 4, ending with a special Tumbleweed Tuesday Party on September 3 at Page Restaurant in Sag Harbor.
Q: We hear that the purpose is to have the cinema in operation during Christmas this year. How are the paintings progressing?
I entered a week, it turns out that the cinema meets. I do not forget when we take the projection support measures before it burns and did not need to leave the top in the support. It was the last time I entered. Seeing what is taking shape now is exciting.
Q: During the beyond two years, he is organizing a site program for the SAG Harbor cinema. Now that he has been officially appointed director, how had he changed his purpose?
Well, that has replaced in the sense of cinema openness, I hope we can accentuate our programs. I’m starting to believe things we can do once we open. In the fall, we’ll announce a new series that’s more excited than we usually do to herald a sense of excitement about the cinema’s opening.
Q: How instrumental has the community been in supporting the cinema restoration, both in terms of the art auction and the screenings?
I’m amazed how the community and the East End has been supportive of this. April [Gornik] organized the auction and we have lots of local artists taking part. It’s also incredible how many people are coming to our screenings. It’s exciting in this nomadic state to see the response.
Q: With 3 theaters of other sizes that will soon be at your service, what concepts do you have to program the other spaces?
I like to think of my audience dates as a conversation. Usually, there is an answer. I look ahead to schedule the curtains as rich and challenging as possible. The other 3 theaters and sizes give us the fluidity and opportunity to be artistic and move things along. The concept has been to explore how rich cinema can be. Highs and lows, whether it’s a big budget, popcorn movies, and weirder stuff, first of all, we need to appeal to as wide an audience as possible.
The more we do here, the more how great the public is. I also think it is wonderful to disseminate the public to new things.
Q: How do you think that possible programming options in summer can differ from the season out of season to the new cinema?
It will be an attractive case study. They can differ in intensity. I think in the summer, because there are more people here, we could be to make more programming, while in the winter, it could be different.
It will be noticed through the opening.
Q: The Old Sag Harbor Theater is a classical art space. Do you expect to run only art movies in the new cinema?
No, we need to do a lot of first races. The sound and projection of our giant theater are designed to draw on the first runs. I don’t think we should be perceived as an art house. I think the perception can be perceived more fluidly and I hope that the audience does not share too much.
Q: Can you communicate about the audience you hope to serve and how do you explain the programming for each?
In the little delight we have had, you can see that the artistic network is very favorable. The summer series [“fun”] had a normal and faithful audience and liked to see that comedies evolved in the other times, seeing the adjustments in the comedian language. The public I want is the young public. This is what we want: teenagers. I want you to notice how glorious it is to watch movies in a theater like a delighted network.
Q: Can you talk a bit about some of the themes that you plan to explore in film and are you expecting to include any workshops or discussions connected to specific topics?
I like non -public references and the status quo of an appointment with filmmakers. Every time we bring someone to speak during the projections, it was very successful. The public loves and ask intelligent questions.
That Latin America is a very desirable domain in terms of film history and filmmakers that leave it. We have a wonderful Spanish -speaking population and I of anything that seduced them for them.
It will be trial and error in the beginning. On weekends we can do a concentrated retrospective on a filmmaker, or a theme, like restoration. We can bring in someone from a lab to explain and ground the audience in some of the big things that have been happening in restoration in the past seven or eight years.
Q: In this virtual era, will you have 35 mm assigners to assign a film?
Digital is excellent, but you should not have many videos in digital. In fact, we will have two 35 mm spotlights, which I sought from the beginning. We can download file impressions because you will have to have two synchronized movie projectors for changes in the coil.
I it. The 35 mm projector is a mandatory tool to perceive the history of the film, which, I think, is very important. In my dreams, we will also have a 16 mm projector. This returns to the network of artists. Many of them worked in 16 mm, so it is also in preparation.
Q: Do you expect to have an appointment with the Hamptons International Film Festival and others here?
There are several major festivals and we hope we can welcome them, Hamptons Doc Fest and the Ola Film Festival. We would be very impatient for paintings with everyone.
Q: What do you think you can offer in the new cinema space that you haven’t had an opportunity to do elsewhere?
I think it’s the combination of old and contemporary technology and the VR [virtual reality] component that will be so dynamic and under one roof. I like the idea of different audiences and generations coming to the cinema. It’s really unique and the fact it’s in the heart of the village is great.
Q: So promises to give us to make snowy winter nights?
Don’t worry.
