The Baths x Brooksy Films Presents 'JAWS' - Cinema on the Beach

Overview

50 years might have passed, but you're still going to need a bigger boat if you're sitting down to watch Steven Spielberg's classic film JAWS. Actually, maybe a boat's a bad idea, what with all the killer sharks in the water, how about watching it on the beach?

That's the thinking behind this exclusive beachside screening, The Baths x Brooksy Films Presents JAWS. Where better to watch the genre-defining thriller that made a whole generation scared to go in the water than metres from the waves? At least the sharks can't reach you there. Probably.

If you've been living under a rock these last 50 years, or have somehow never heard of the first killer shark flick: JAWS is based on the 1974 novel of the same name, which tells the story of Amity Island, a coastal town beset by a series of attacks from a killer great white shark — forcing the local sherrif, a marine biologist and a grizzled shark hunter to set sail in the infamously small boat to catch and kill the animal before it can strike again.

Taking over The Baths Middle Brighton's private beach for one night only — Friday, November 21 — it's the perfect way to watch (or rewatch) the film in celebration of 50 years since its original release, and no matter how immersed the setting makes you, you'll be far, far away from Amity.

Your $25 ticket guarantees you a spot, but it's BYO bean bag, picnic rug or blanket to save you from sitting on just the sand. Alcohol is strictly prohibited, as is entering the water. If you're a BBHC member, you can inquire about gold class tickets to the deck Downstairs at The Baths.
