Shipwreck Showtimes: A Maritime Film Series: Geographies of Solitude

Join us for Egan’s 2026 Shipwreck Showtimes, a free series of maritime films for the community. Egan is hosting Sunday afternoon screenings of three critically acclaimed movies: a fantasy drama (at the Lifesaving Museum), an animated adventure tale (at the Dreamland), and a documentary (location to be announced). Each film features an island as a place of refuge and wonder. Plus, enjoy complementary snacks and a short post-screening discussion.

Geographies of Solitude

• Location: To Be Announced

Our Shipwreck Showtimes film series concludes with a free screening of the 2022 documentary Geographies of Solitude (103 minutes, not rated). Canadian filmmaker Jacquelyn Mills follows ecologist Zoe Lucas, who has made Nova Scotia’s remote Sable Island her home for more than four decades. As the island’s only full-time human resident, Lucas chronicles its varied wildlife— including wild horses and the world’s largest colony of grey seals — along with marine debris that washes ashore. Alive to its unique setting, the documentary has garnered top awards at film festivals and was named a New York Times Critics Pick in 2023.
