Chesapeake Bay Week Film Festival: Chesapeake Rhythms Film Screening & Discussion
April 16, 2025 @ 5:30 pm - 6:45 pm

Celebrate Chesapeake Bay Week with a special film festival, presented by the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in collaboration with Maryland Public Television. Dive deep into the Bay’s rich history through the inspiring stories of the people who call it home. Throughout this special event, enjoy advanced screenings alongside panel discussions and expert talks, as this series promises to entertain, educate, and ignite your passion for this treasured waterway.
The Chesapeake Bay Week Film Festival concludes Wednesday, April 16, at 5:30pm, with a “Chesapeake Rhythms” film screening and discussion with the filmmakers.
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.
