A event on Monday 18th March. The event starts at 19:00.
The Eagle With The Sunlit Eye is the winner of the Banff Mountain Film Festival Best Environment Film (2023) and Kendal Mountain Film Festival People's Choice award (2023).
It is being screened as part of a worldwide series of events celebrating World Rewilding Day. This is the first time it will be shown in Bristol and we will be joined by Ted Simpson - Director of the film - for a Q&A afterwards. Following the Q&A you are also invited to join us for drinks nearby.
Doors open: 18.00*
Film starts: 19.00
Event finishes: 21.00
* There will be the opportunity for socialising before the film in the lobby!
*FILM DESCRIPTION*
This film dives unflinchingly into the controversy surrounding the reintroduction of white tailed eagles - one of the world's largest birds of prey - to Britain. They were formerly driven to extinction, until efforts to bring them back started in the 1970s. Pulling back the curtain on the reintroduction process, combining breathtaking visuals with heart stopping action, and even turning the cameras onto the filmmakers themselves, this epic documentary ultimately asks us - will we ever learn to live alongside the eagle with the sunlit eye?
*GETTING THERE*
The entrance to the theatre is NOT the same as the main entrance. The sliding glass doors are at the BACK of the aquarium, near the pedestrian crossing on Anchor Road and just round the corner from the giant chimney.
*ACCESSIBILITY*
The Bristol Aquarium Theatre has wheelchair access for up to 15 wheelchairs. If you have other accessibility needs, please get in touch and we can try and make adjustments for you.
Entry requirements: no age restrictions
