Teen Film Contest
High school filmmakers have been invited to take part in the East Hampton Library’s teen film contest. Details on the contest rules can be learned at a kickoff meeting on Tuesday from 3 to 4 p.m. at the library.
Alone or in teams, participants will work after hours at the library to create their own films in one of six categories: animation, comedy, documentary, drama, music video, or public service announcement. Winners will be announced at a screening and awards program next month. Advance registration is required with Lisa Michne at 324-0222, extension 2, or by email at [email protected].
Stop-Motion Workshop
Artists from the Good School will be on hand at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill on Sunday to lead families in making their own stop-motion animation movies. The program, which runs from 2 to 4 p.m., will cover set building and design, characters, and plotlines. It is free with museum admission, which is $10 for adults. Space is limited so advance registration online at parrishart.org is required.
A Marionette Snow Queen
The Goat on a Boat Puppet Theatre will bring Eulenspiegel Puppets of Iowa to the Bay Street Theater stage in Sag Harbor on Saturday for a marionette production of “The Snow Queen.” Based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, the story follows a girl who will stop at nothing to save her friend from the Snow Queen. The show, which begins at 11 a.m., is ideal for children 3 to 8. Tickets cost $15.
Puppet shows are planned every Saturday this month at Bay Street. This week and next, the theater will present the next installments in its Children’s Film Festival. “Toy Story” will be shown on Sunday at 2 p.m. “Toy Story 2” is coming up on March 13, and on April 3, it’s “Toy Story 3.” Tickets cost $5.
Young Cowgirls Show
The Young Cowgirls, a girls performance group that has been working at Guild Hall with Kate Mueth and the Neo-Political Cowgirls, will offer short theatrical presentations that they conceived and developed themselves tomorrow at 7 p.m. Participants in the program have spent the past six weeks journaling, sharing, doing improv exercises, and learning about directing and choreographing.
Seek Student Opioid P.S.A.s
LTV has put out a call for East Hampton High School students to produce their own 30 or 60-second public service announcements aimed at combating the problem of heroin and opioid addiction on Long Island.
“We thought that the best people to speak to the students are their peers,” said Morgan Vaughan, the executive director of LTV. LTV staff will help guide students and lend equipment, if necessary, “but we want the P.S.A.s to ultimately come from them,” Ms. Vaughan said in a release.
Student producers will earn 20 hours of community service for each submission. The P.S.A.s will be broadcast on LTV and will be posted on its website. Students interested in the project have been asked to contact Ms. Vaughn at 537-2777, extension 112, or [email protected].
Quesadilla Kids
Young kids who love to cook should enjoy a Saturday morning workshop at the Children’s Museum of the East End in Bridgehampton. In it, kids 3 to 6 will make quesadillas with help from their parents. The cost is $19 including museum admission, or $7 for members.
