BUEI To Host Four Community Events
The Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute [BUEI] is hosting four events this month that highlight the island’s maritime heritage, Bermudian culture, little learners and our ocean.
A spokesperson said, “The Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute [BUEI] is continuing to expand its outreach initiatives and partnerships with a variety of community stakeholders. BUEI is hosting four dynamic events this month that highlight the island’s maritime heritage, Bermudian culture, little learners and our beloved ocean.
“Join us for a special Fitted Dinghy Racing event at 6:30pm on Tuesday 15 July. BUEI has partnered with the The Bermuda Fitted Dinghy Association and the Department of Culture to show the third instalment of a documentary series on Bermuda Folklife by the Bermuda Government’s Department of Culture. The film examines the unique history and vibrant culture of fitted dinghy racing in Bermuda, and includes a special panel discussion with racing experts. Tickets are $15 for general admission or $25 for the “Big Screen Package”, which includes a complimentary glass of wine or beer, and snack pack. Tickets are selling fast – go to BUEI.bm/events or PTIX.bm to secure tickets.
“On Thursday 17 July, SJD World and BUEI are hosting an exclusive premiere event for the final screening of the international award-winning film ‘Thoughts Become Things’ and the debut of ‘Decoding Thoughts’, a behind the scenes short documentary exploring deeper meanings of the film. Doors open at 5:30pm and the film starts at 6pm sharp. Guests will be treated to an immersive journey through Bermudian culture, taking a look at who we are through a different lens. This is a special fundraising event with proceeds to support BUEI’s programmes and the film’s costs to complete its final journey leading up to its public release on YouTube in August. Tickets are $50 and include complimentary drinks, good food and live entertainment featuring a special performance that recreates a key scene from the film. There’s also an up-close Q & A session with the filmmakers. Visit BUEI.bm/events or PTIX.bm and get your tickets today before they’re all gone!
