Nantucket Film Festival Sets ‘Jaws’ 50th Anniversary Celebration, ‘Twinless’ Screening and Ben Stiller-Hosted Comedy Rountable: Lineup
Nantucket Film Festival celebrates 30 years of storytelling with special anniversary screenings
One of the biggest draws of the weekend will be NFF’s Centerpiece selection, National Geographic’s “Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story,” which is part of the festival’s Deep Dive Screening & Talk Presentations. The doc, directed by Laurent Bouzereau in partnership with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Documentaries, Nedland Media and Wendy Benchley, gives an authorized look inside how the iconic shark thriller was made in 1975 and continues to influence cinema. “So many incredible filmmakers, writers and artists have come through NFF over the years — like the Duplass brothers and Katie Aselton, who’ve been with us since ‘This Is John’ and ‘The Puffy Chair,’ or Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, returning for the sixth time with a body of work that spans ‘Jesus Camp,’ ‘The Boys of Baraka,’ ‘Norman Lear’ and ‘Folktales,’ just to name a few.”
