Following two sold-out screenings this past spring in Fairfield and Glastonbury, “Flyway of Life”— celebrating the Atlantic Flyway and the incredible migratory journey of North America’s birds—returns to Connecticut with two special events this October and will have its first screening in New York City this September.
The October 1 event will take place at the University of Connecticut Avery Point’s Alexey von Schlippe Gallery and the campus auditorium in Groton, Connecticut. Attendees will begin at the Alexey von Schlippe Gallery at 4 pm with a reception and exhibition of photographs by Tomas Koeck. At 4:30 pm Tomas Koeck and Jon Dodd of the Atlantic Shark Institute will discuss Tomas’s new film Chasing Fins, a film about sharks off of New England, which is now streaming on PBS. At 5:30 pm visitors will make a short walk to the campus auditorium for the 6pm screening for Flyway of Life followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker, and book signing. This event is free, courtesy of University of Connecticut and CT SeaGrant - first come first serve!

The next screening will be on October 5th at the Sacred Heart University Community Theatre in downtown Fairfield, marking the film’s much-anticipated return to the venue where it played to a sold-out audience earlier this year. The event will be followed by a book signing as well.
Both events will also feature a special presentation by Tomas Koeck, the producer of the project and will also provide a sneak peak into what Koeck is working on next...
