The Four Corners Arts Center is pleased to present the 2009 documentary film, Vanishing Bees on Wednesday May 18^th 2011 at 7:30 p.m. at the Meeting House in Tiverton Four Corners.

Known as Colony Collapse Disorder, the phenomenon has brought beekeepers to crisis in an industry responsible for producing apples, broccoli, watermelon, onions, cherries and a hundred other fruits and vegetables.  Commercial honeybee operations pollinate crops that make up one out of every three bites of food on our tables.

Vanishing of the Bees follows commercial beekeepers David Hackenberg and Dave Mendes as they strive to keep their bees healthy and fulfill pollination contracts across the U.S.  The Film explores the struggles they face as the two friends plead their case on Capitol Hill and travel across the Pacific Ocean in the quest to protect their honeybees.

Filming across the US, in Europe, Australia and Asia, this documentary examines the alarming disappearance of honeybees and the greater meaning it holds about the relationship between mankind and mother earth.

The Four Corners Arts Center is pleased to present an evening about Greenland Kayaking together with a special showing of “The Wedding of Palo”, a documentary film made in 1933 about an Inuit community in Greenland. The event is sponsored by Westport’s Osprey Sea Kayak Adventures.  There will also be a presentation of traditional Greenland kayaking by Cheri Perry and Turner Wilson.

“The Wedding of Palo” was filmed in 1933 by Knud Rassmussen, a Danish explorer and ethnographer.   Unlike a conventional documentary describing the lives of Inuit before the arrival of Christianity in Greenland, Rassmussen creates a story line -  a love triangle with an unmarried Inuit woman and two hunter/suitors – and uses the villagers as his “actors”.  This film is currently in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.  Rassmussen died from food poisoning shortly before completing the film, which was finished in Denmark by his film crew.

Cheri Perry and Turner Wilson are partners in a company, Kayak Ways, that is based on the notion that traditional kayaking skills and tools of the Inuit seal catchers offer valuable lessons for modern day recreational kayakers. Both Cheri and Turner have won gold medals in the Greenland National Kayaking Championships and have demonstrated Greenlandic kayaking techniques throughout the USA and in Europe.  Turner now builds custom Greenland-style skin on frame qajaq, paatit (Greenland paddles), and norsq (rolling sticks) as well as teaching workshops for individuals and groups.
