The National Library will showcase films about Bermuda throughout next month, Minister of Public Information Services Neletha Butterfield told the House of Assembly this morning.

The films will be shown in December at noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays, in the Hamilton library's Bermuda History and Cultural Studies Room.

The Minister said that due to limited space, groups of between six and 15 people should contact Ellen Hollis at ejhollis@gov.bm to arrange special viewings.

Offerings include the history film 'Bermuda Five Centuries' by Panatel Productions; 'The Riddle of the Crest', based on Dr Philippe Rouja's investigation into the origins of Bermuda's coat of arms; nativity story 'First Christmas' by Alastair MacDonald with illustrations by Adel Nasief; documentary 'Behind the Mask: Bermuda's Gombeys, Past, Present and Future'; 'Bermuda's Defence Heritage'; 'The Bermuda Tattoo' — showing a performance of military music — and a documentary narrated by Michael Douglas called 'The Lion and the Mouse: the Story of America and Bermuda', on the history of US/Bermuda relations.
