'The Eagle Huntress' Special Screenings at EagleFest 2017

CROTON-ON-HUDSON, NY — Celebrate the annual return of the eagle to the Hudson Valley at Teatown's annual EagleFest Feb. 11.

This year, EagleFest tickets include admission to one of two special screenings of 'The Eagle Huntress.' The documentary follows the story of Aishol-pan, a 13-year-old girl who trains to become the first female in 12 generations of her Kazakh family to become an eagle hunter and rises to the pinnacle of a tradition that has been handed down from father to son for centuries. It is narrated by Daisy Ridley of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

"In form and content, this is a movie that expands your sense of what is possible. A girl can hunt with an eagle. A camera can fly," said A. O. Scott in his review of 'The Eagle Huntress' for The NYTimes.

General admission to EagleFest allows you to participate in all EagleFest activities for one fee.

• Live eagle shows & bird walks
• Live music with a special performance by Tom Chapin
• Heated tents
• Food trucks
• Bus Tours to viewing sites (additional fee)
• Children’s activities
• Tickets to two free showings of The Eagle Huntress at Pace University
• 25+ participating environmental organizations
• Numerous viewing sites all along the Hudson River

What's extra that lots of people like? Bus tours (with limited seating) that take you to three different eagle viewing sites along the river. The tickets are $26 per person (age 14+). There will be two buses for each tour at 9:30 am and at 2:00 pm. Bus tour tickets are available for purchase by calling Teatown’s Nature Center at 914-762-2912 x 110. Note: The buses often sell out.
