One of the most thrilling, terrifying and unforgettable films of all time returns to the cinema. Screening in 4K.
The screening on Saturday night comes with an introductory talk from Dr Helena Bacon, Lecturer and Researcher in Film at the University of Suffolk.
Please note: Helena's introduction begins at 8pm with the film starting at 8.30pm.
Helena teaches across a range of film and television studies modules on the university's film degrees and will be exploring some of the cinematic and contextual approaches we might bring to one of Spielberg's earliest feature films and its now iconic 'monster', the great white shark itself.

Jaws: 50th Anniversary Re-Issue
After a killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach community off Long Island, a local sheriff, a marine biologist and a grizzled old fisherman join forces to hunt the beast down. Released in the summer of 1975, Jaws was one of the films that ushered in the modern blockbuster. It won three Academy Awards, including one for John Williams’ brilliant, unsettling and iconic score.
