Sag Harbor Cinema’s

LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT

This Lighthouse Project event originally scheduled for September 14 has been rescheduled for November 16.

Screening: Eighth Grade (2018, Bo Burnham)

Sag Harbor Cinema is proud to continue its Lighthouse Project, a year-round film and discussion series that illuminates mental health awareness, advocacy and action. Sag Harbor Cinema’s Lighthouse Project is free and open to the public and offers equitable access to mental health information with expert-led panel discussions. Its goal is to demystify, to destigmatize, and to promote knowledge about mental disorders, and to disseminate information about their treatment using film as an entry point for discussion.

The next Lighthouse series event will take place on Sunday, November 16th at Sag Harbor Cinema, and will focus on adolescent anxiety and social media. Registration is required for this free community program as seating is limited. Please reserve a spot in advance to attend the screenings and the discussion, or the discussion only. Light bites and refreshments will be provided.

Sag Harbor Cinema will screen Bo Burnham’s Eighth Grade (2018) and Jack Kendrick’s short film Honey Bee (2017). After the film, there will be a panel discussion—moderated by Dr. Diana Diamond, Ph.D. (Clinical Psychology, CUNY/Weill Cornell)—about the nature and manifestations of adolescent anxiety and its intersection with social media usage.

Featured panelists include: Laura Braider, Ph.D. (Behavioral Health College Partnership, Northwell Health); Nicholas Kardaras, Ph.D. (Clinical Professor, Stony Brook); Wendy Cleary, LCSW (Board Member, Generation S.O.S.); and Jack Kendrick (filmmaker).

This edition of the Lighthouse Project is kindly sponsored by Northwell Behavioral Health.
