Description

Cape Cod National Seashore will kick off its annual winter film festival on Sunday, January 7, with the theme, “Maritime Movie Classics”. The films will show on six consecutive Sundays at 1:30 pm on the theatre-size screen at Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham. The festival is co-sponsored by the Friends of Cape Cod National Seashore.
 
Details for January 28: Mutiny on the Bounty (2 hr. 58 min.) On a sea voyage to transport breadfruit to Jamaica, English Captain Bligh abuses his crew and officers enough to anger his 1st Lieutenant, Fletcher Christian. When they reach their destination, tensions ease and the crew luxuriates in island life until Bligh claps several men in irons for trying to desert. On the trip home, further indignities inspire Christian to stage a mutiny.
 
Salt Pond Visitor Center is located at the intersection of Route 6 and Nauset Road in Eastham and can be contacted by calling 508-255-3421. The visitor center is open from 9 am to 4:30 pm.
