Join us for a thrilling night beneath the surface…
The Martha’s Vineyard Film Society, in partnership with National Geographic and Amblin Documentaries, is proud to present an exclusive, members-only preview of JAWS @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story, a powerful new documentary that dives deep into the making of a cultural phenomenon and the legacy it sparked for ocean conservation.
This officially authorized, behind-the-scenes documentary uncovers the untold stories of Jaws — from malfunctioning mechanical sharks and stormy seas to the creative genius that forever changed cinema and our collective relationship with sharks.
Directed by Laurent Bouzereau, who has worked closely with Steven Spielberg for over 30 years, and created in collaboration with Wendy Benchley, a renowned ocean advocate and the widow of Jaws author Peter Benchley, this film connects the iconic blockbuster to a new generation of shark lovers, scientists, and ocean conservation champions.
Stick around after the film for a special live conversation with Wendy Benchley, whose tireless work to protect sharks and safeguard our seas has made her a global leader in ocean conservation and marine policy issues. Hear her half-century reflections on Peter’s legacy, the power of film to shape public perception, and how we can all be part of the solution for our ocean’s future.
This is a one-night-only event you won’t want to miss. Space is limited — reserve your tickets today!
