Get ready to kick off summer with a jaw-dropping celebration of the 50th anniversary of JAWS where we’ll dive deep into the legacy of Spielberg’s blockbuster—and the real-world sharks that swim beneath the surface. Join Linda DeLibero (Senior Lecturer, Film and Media Studies) for a break down of the film’s iconic storytelling, behind-the-scenes magic, and its ripple effect on pop culture, along with renowned marine biologist and author of Why Sharks Matter, Dr. David Shiffman who will set the record straight on shark science, conservation, and the truth behind these misunderstood apex predators. From John Williams’ unforgettable score to surprising shark facts, this discussion will offer new insights for movie lovers and shark enthusiasts alike.
