Jaws12A

Tuesday 10 June

GFT, 12 Rose Street

Steven Spielberg’s 1975 shark saga transformed his career and set the standard for the New Hollywood popcorn blockbuster while frightening millions of movie-goers out of the water. When pieces of human flesh wash up on the shore of a popular tourist resort, Police Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) suspects the worst, but local officials, mindful of the lucrative tourist trade, refuse to put the island on a business-killing shark alert. After more deadly attacks, Chief Brody recruits marine biologist Hopper (Richard Dreyfuss) and veteran fisherman Quint (Robert Shaw) to hunt down the legendary beast, only to realise it is the shark that is hunting them. Aided by John Williams’ unforgettable score, Jaws is still terrifying all these years later.

Screening as part of Glasgow Science Festival. Followed by a Q&A with marine biologists Drs David Bailey, Shaun Killen and Deborah McNeill from the University of Glasgow, in which they will delve further into the science of the deep. Sponsored by the British Ecological Society. Recommended for ages 16+.
