Chesapeake Rhythms chronicles the essential rhythms of Chesapeake Bay: wind, tides, and migrations of tundra swans, monarch butterflies, shorebirds, and eels. These ancient migrations, annual rituals repeated for millennia, weave a tapestry that enriches our lives and oblige Chesapeake dwellers to maintain our hugely important way station in this vaster scheme of comings and goings. The film conveys the beauties and mysteries of the fundamental, elemental Chesapeake. This screening will be followed by a discussion with filmmakers Tom Horton, Dave Harp, and Sandy Cannon-Brown.
