Game Changers: Unveiling the Power of Jaws

What if the true threat is invisible, lurking deep beneath the surface, and you only realize what's happening when it's too late? In 'Jaws', Steven Spielberg cranks up the tension to an unbearable level. This film not only terrified audiences but also transformed the film industry forever. Join Twan Arts as he explores why 'Jaws' remains a true Game Changer even after 40 years! The story unfolds in a small coastal town, shrouded in mystery, with attacks occurring and a fin occasionally breaking the water's surface. What begins as a series of inexplicable incidents escalates into a nightmare for the residents of Amity Island. When the threat can no longer be ignored, the hunt for an invisible enemy begins. With 'Jaws', Spielberg elevated the thriller genre in 1975. The suspense lies not in what you see, but in what you don't see. Not only was this film a box office success but it also marked a turning point; Spielberg broke away from traditional storytelling and established something entirely new: the modern blockbuster was born. Twan Arts will reveal why this film is much more than a horror story featuring a shark. 'Jaws' is a Game Changer that has left profound marks on cinema. **Program:** 20:00 Masterclass 20:45 Break 21:00 Screening of Jaws **Game Changers** takes place every third Monday of the month at Natlab, where an iconic classic film is showcased.
