High Style in the Gilded Age: Grace Clarke Newton
Thursday, January 28, 11 a.m.
The tenth lecture on women of the Gilded Age in Southampton will tell the story of Grace Clarke Newton. As the daughter of the prominent New York art collector, Thomas B. Clarke, Grace appears headed down the typical path of a daughter of privilege, adored as a child and destined to marry well. Yet something in her romantic, poetic nature sets her apart and adds an element of mystery to her brief life. southamptonhistory.org

Blizzard of Souls
Now through February 8.
​Directed by Dzintars Dreibergs, Blizzard of Souls pays stark witness to the horrors and brutality of World War I, as seen through the eyes of an innocent 17-year-old farmhand turned soldier. He grows up on the battlefield, fighting at the side of his father and brother, whose lives are constantly in jeopardy. The film is available on-demand through Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center. whbpac.org

World of Wong Kar Wai
Now streaming.
Sag Harbor Virtual Cinema presents World of Wong Kar Wai, a monthlong program of movies by the Hong Kong director. Before the handover to China in 1997, Hong Kong was known for its thriving film industry, and in what is now considered its golden age, between the 1970s and 1990s, the former British colony was the world’s largest film exporter after Hollywood. Tickets are $12 for individual films or $70 for the full lineup. sagharborcinema.org
