Good Morning, Bermuda!

We hope everyone is staying safe and calm during these uncertain times. Naturally, due to the Government’s recommendations to practice social distancing in light of COVID 19, many events on the calendar have been recently cancelled or postponed until further notice. Here are all the ones which have been added since last week, and planned to go ahead as scheduled. It’s important that you scroll down to the Quick Recap Section at the bottom of this post to see all upcoming and recently updated events.

The first lecture will begin Bermuda’s story in 1250, with the construction of the Atlantic System that led to the Island’s discovery, the arrival of the first man of African descent, Venturilla, and the Sea Venture wreck. Bermudian historian Dr. Clarence Maxwell will explore the historical context that put Bermuda on the map.

The lecture is from 5:30pm until 7pm in the North Hall at Bermuda College, and is a component of NMB’s Moving the Needle Teacher Professional Development Programme, endorsed by the Department of Education.

BUEI Screens presents: Parasite on Wednesday, February 19th.

2019 / Dark Comedy / R / 107mins. 2020 Oscar Winner – Best Picture, Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Original Screenplay.

Bong Joon Ho brings his work home to Korea in this pitch-black modern fairytale. Meet the Park Family: the picture of aspirational wealth. And the Kim Family, rich in street smarts but not much else. Be it chance or fate, these two houses are brought together and the Kims sense a golden opportunity. Masterminded by college-aged Ki-woo, the Kim children expediently install themselves as tutor and art therapist, to the Parks. Soon, a symbiotic relationship forms between the two families. The Kims provide “indispensable” luxury services while the Parks obliviously bankroll their entire household. When a parasitic interloper threatens the Kims’ newfound comfort, a savage, underhanded battle for dominance breaks out, threatening to destroy the fragile ecosystem between the Kims and the Parks.

The film starts at 7:30pm in the Tradewinds Auditorium. Harbourfront opens for dinner at 5pm ticket holders are entitled to 10% off dinner (food only) before or after the film. Reservations required.
