“Jaws” (1975, PG, 2h 4m) changed both the movie industry and our awareness of one of nature's most fascinating species. Join us at Harbor Theater on Sunday September 7 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this remarkable phenomenon. At 4:00 p.m. we will present a captivating look into the making of the film, behind the scenes interviews, and commentary on the film’s impact on the fields of entertainment and science. Then, at 5:30, stay to reexperience (or experience for the first time!) the film that started the whole phenomenon of the “summer blockbuster!”

This afternoon of summer vacation shark mania is free and open to the open public. Sponsored by the Towns of Boothbay, Boothbay Harbor, and Southport, “Jaws” is the latest in Harbor Theater’s Free Family Films.
