Future Tense Presents 'My Favorite Movie' Jaws
with Nancy Knowlton and Wendy Benchley
Event
Steven Spielberg's 1975 classic, Jaws, may have scared a generation out of the water, but it also inspired kids to learn about the ocean and seek to protect the creatures that live there. It's fitting, then, that our hosts for this movie screening are Nancy Knowlton, the Sant Chair for Marine Science at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History and the winner of the Peter Benchley Award, the Heinz Award, and nominated member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences, and Wendy Benchley, ocean conservationist and President of the Board of Directors of Shark Savers.
Slate, the New America Foundation, and Arizona State University invite you to join us for this event at Washington, D.C.'s Landmark E Street Cinema at 555 11th Street, on Tuesday, November 19, at 6:30 p.m. If you would like to attend, RSVP to futuretensedc@gmail.com with your name, email address, and any affiliation you'd like to share. You may RSVP for yourself and up to one guest, and please include your guest's name in your response. Seating is limited, so email now to get in on this opportunity to see Jaws in theaters.
