Mountaineering Doc
HamptonsFilm’s SummerDocs series will conclude with a screening of “The Last First: Winter K2,” Amir Bar-Lev’s documentary focused on a 2021 expedition to the planet’s second highest mountain, on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Guild Hall.
The film follows John Snorri Sigurjonsson, an Icelander, and Ali and Sajid Sadpara, a Pakistani father and son, as they set out to be the first to reach the mountain’s summit in the winter, when its conditions are the most brutal. The men are soon joined by influencer climbers and their film crews, commercial expedition clients, and a celebrity Nepalese mountaineer.
The screening will be followed by a conversation among Bar-Lev, Alec Baldwin, HamptonsFilm’s co-chairman, and David Nugent, its chief creative officer. Tickets are $40 and selling fast.
Venezuelan Jazz
Up next in the music series at the Arts Center at Duck Creek in Springs is the Caracas Trio, a Venezuelan ensemble, next Thursday at 6 p.m. The three musicians grew up in the same neighborhood in Caracas before moving to New York City and finding their way into the modern jazz scene.
Juan Diego Villalobos on vibraphone, Gabriel Chakarji on piano, and Daniel Prim on drums produce a music rooted in Afro-Venezuelan rhythms and melodic improvisation at the heart of the Venezuelan folk tradition, charged by the energy of New York. The trio will be joined by a special guest, Yilmer Vivas, a percussionist.
Jazz and Broadway
In partnership with Hamptons JazzFest, LTV Studios in Wainscott will host the Immanuel Wilkins Quartet on Friday at 7:30 p.m. An alto saxophonist, composer, and bandleader, Wilkins combines modern jazz with influences drawn from gospel, blues, and the broader Black American musical tradition. General admission is $40, reserved cocktail table seating with a drink ticket is $60, and students with ID get in for $10.
Alexander DeJong, a Dutch-born actor and singer who has appeared on Broadway in “42nd Street” and “My Fair Lady,” will bring stories, Broadway favorites, and several original songs from musicals he wrote to LTV on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. General admission is $80, and reserved table seating with available bottle service is $100 per person, with a two-person minimum.
Olympic Hopeful
“Jumpers,” Naomi Sedgwick’s short documentary about Skylar Wireman, a 21-year-old equestrian athlete contending for a spot in the 2028 Olympics, will be shown in the Bridgehampton Museum’s Tractor Barn Friday at 6 p.m.
Wireman completes “in a sport where wealth often determines success,” according to the filmmakers. Without major financial backing, she has built her career riding horses not her own, earning opportunities through her ability to quickly adapt and build trust with each new horse. “Filmed over the course of two years and in three different countries, ‘Jumpers’ captures what it means for a young athlete to chase her Olympic dreams.” Tickets are $10, free for those under 17.
Bremis at the Mic
Sticks and Stones Comedy will return to the Southampton Cultural Center on Saturday at 8 p.m. with a lineup headlined by Irene Bremis, a stand-up comedian, writer, actress, and radio personality who performs nationwide. She is the co-host of “The Woo Woo,” a podcast with Rachel Dratch, a “Saturday Night Live” alum. “Unladylike,” Bremis’s comedy album, is on SiriusXM, and her comedy special, “Sweetie,” can be seen on streaming platforms.
General admission is $35, reserved seats are $70, and top-tier seating is $100. Doors open at 7:30 with live music, snacks, and drinks.
