BUEI Glow Worm Cruise

Bermuda’s fireworm or glow worm produces bioluminescent displays during its mating activities. Through the months of May, June, July, August, September, October and November, between two and three nights after a full moon, this illuminated mating ritual can be witnessed just after sunset. In calm inlets, bioluminescent fireworms swarm to the surface of the sea and engage in sensuous dances and as they do, they give off a luminescent glow that lights up the water. Lasting only a few minutes, the dance is repeated the following month. The Glow Worm Cruise leaves from the BUEI Dock and heads to a calm area to witness this monthly ritual.

Weather permitting: May 19, June 17 & 18, July 17 & 18, August 15 & 16, September 14 & 15, October 13 & 14, November 12 & 13.

WEEKEND FILM SERIES

 WEEKEND FILM SERIES – SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 18

3 p.m. – THE END OF THE LINE
United States / 82 minutes / Rated: PG

The world’s first major documentary about the devastating impact of overfishing on our oceans tells us firsthand about the effects of our global love affair with fish as food. It examines the imminent extinction of bluefin tuna, brought on by increasing western demand for sushi; the impact on marine life resulting in huge overpopulation of jellyfish; and the profound implications of a future world with no fish. Filmed over two years, The End of the Line follows the investigative reporter Charles Clover as he confronts politicians and celebrity restaurateurs, who exhibit little regard for the damage they are doing to the oceans. Filmed across the world – from the Straits of Gibraltar to the coasts of Senegal and Alaska to the Tokyo fish market – featuring top scientists, indigenous fishermen and fisheries enforcement officials, The End of the Line is a wake-up call to the world.

“As beautiful as it is damning.” – L.A. Times

“Food Inc. for fish.” – Reeling Reviews

 

5:15 p.m. – THE FIRST GRADER
United Kingdom / 98 minutes / Rated: PG13

When the government of Kenya announces it will offer free primary education for the first time, an eighty-four-year-old man shows up on the doorstep of a rural school, ready for class. Having never had the benefit of an education, Kimani N'gan'ga Maruge (played by Oliver Litondo) figures it’s never too late to start. Based on a remarkable true story, The First Grader is an inspiring and uplifting film about the universal human urge to make our lives better. Naomie Harris plays the teacher, Jane, who supports her newest, and oldest, student. The film has been an audience favourite at festivals worldwide, winning prizes at the Pan African film festival, as well as at festivals in Durban, Doha, and throughout the United States.

 

“Certain to stir the hearts of audiences worldwide.” – The Hollywood Reporter

 

“Run, do not walk, and go see this.” – Whoopi Goldberg, The View
