The Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute is excited to announce the launch of “Films at
BUEI”, screening every 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month at 7pm in our Tradewinds Auditorium.
As one of the remaining theatres in Bermuda, we are excited to provide the community with an
additional venue to view award-winning films that would otherwise not be seen here on a big
screen. Films selected for screening are intended for mature audiences and include a ticket option
package featuring a beverage such as wine, beer or a non-alcoholic drink, and snacks to enjoy
during each show.
Saturday, February 11th, Films at BUEI will screen ‘Blind Ambition’, a feelgood documentary that
follows four friends who have conquered the odds after escaping starvation and tyranny in their
homeland of Zimbabwe to become South Africa’s top sommeliers. Driven by relentless optimism,
a passion for their craft and a sense of national pride, they form Zimbabwe’s first national wine
tasting team and set their sights on the coveted title of “World Wine Tasting Champions.”
On Saturday, February 25th, ‘Films at BUEI’ will screen the multi-award-winning film, ‘The Whale’,
starring Brendan Fraser as a reclusive English teacher attempting to reconnect with his estranged
teenage daughter. Fraser has received a best actor nomination for this role.
“As a non-profit charity, we have to be creative about generating revenue that supports our
mission to ensure the ocean around Bermuda is loved and protected” said Karla Lacey, BUEI CEO.
“Films have historically been an important source of core revenue for BUEI, with the limited
opportunities for big screen viewing, we believe there’s a market for thoughtfully curated
offerings.”
Tickets for ‘Films at BUEI’ are $15 for general admission and $25 for our Big Screen package, which
includes a complimentary glass of wine from Beringer Main & Vine from California or Moretti Beer
from Italy, (or a non-alcoholic beverage), and a delightful snack pack to enjoy during the
screening!
Special thanks to Discovery Wines & Spirits!
