You’re gonna need a Bigger Screen to watch this Classic Summer Blockbuster.
https://sff2026monthlyscreenings.eventive.org/schedule

Mechanical sharks that wouldn't work. Endless delays. A budget spiraling out of control. A production by a new director who many believed was doomed to fail. And somehow, against all odds, it became one of the most successful films of all time.

Join us for 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗡𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧, featuring a special screening of 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗜𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴, an incredible behind-the-scenes look at the chaos, creativity, and determination that brought 𝗝𝗮𝘄𝘀 to life, followed by a BIG Screen viewing of the legendary classic itself.

Come to 1, or Both with a "Head - Tail - Whole Damn Fish" Double-Feature Ticket. Plus, we’re encouraging everyone to dress in their best JAWS Beach attire -- Shorts, Swimsuits, Flip-Flops, T-Shirts, Sunhats, Glasses and Towels to get in the spirit.
Make it a date night, bring the kids. We'll also have a little Silent Auction of some Jaws Collectable Memorabilia.

➤ 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟭𝟭
𝟰:𝟬𝟬 𝗣𝗠 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴
𝟳:𝟬𝟬 𝗣𝗠 - 𝗝𝗔𝗪𝗦

50 years later – we’re still scared to go into the water thanks to JAWS – the original Hollywood film phenomenon that created the Summer Blockbuster craze.

Sure, you know the story and probably have seen it all before… but when was the last time you watched it in the dark, on a Big Screen surrounded by a crowd of screaming fans thrilled by every "Du-Dum" of the iconic soundtrack? Maybe never?.. especially those under 50.

🎟️ Admission Included for VIP Founders Passholders & SFF Annual Passholders with advance reservations. ⚠️Ticket purchase required for all other guests!

🎬Come with us to the Stratford Film Festival's screening of 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿: 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻!

From the warm welcome at the door, to the collectible postcards, free popcorn, and the chance to hear some of Peter Asher's biggest hits before the film, it was a perfect night at the movies.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for this special screening! If you haven't checked out the SFF yet, we've got a whole summer lineup ahead. Next up: 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗡𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧! 🦈🍿

You’re gonna need a Bigger Screen…
to watch this Classic Summer Blockbuster.

50 years later – we’re still scared to go into the water thanks to JAWS – the original Hollywood film phenomenon that created the Summer Blockbuster craze.

Sure, you know the story and probably have seen it all before… but when was the last time you watched it in the dark, on a Big Screen surrounded by a crowd of screaming fans thrilled by every "Du-Dum" of the iconic soundtrack? Maybe never?.. especially those under 50.

In any case, it’s time to re-live the heart-thumping adventure of this Quint-essential (see what we did there?) fish tale that will leave you breathless and wanting more...
And we deliver with a Jaws-dropping double feature event that starts with the incredible behind-the-scenes documentary, THE SHARK IS STILL WORKING, about the extensive production efforts taken to make this classic so visceral when "Bruce", the star, couldn't swim @ 4pm … followed by the Big Fish itself, JAWS @ 7pm.

Come to 1, or Both with a "Head - Tail - Whole Damn Fish" Double-Feature Ticket. Plus, we’re encouraging everyone to dress in their best JAWS Beach attire -- Shorts, Swimsuits, Flip-Flops, T-Shirts, Sunhats, Glasses and Towels to get in the spirit.

We'll also have a little Silent Auction of some Jaws Collectable Memorabilia. This is what going to the movies is all about, make it a date night, or bring the kids… they make good bait.

We're excited to share the full line-up of films coming to SFF this Summer over the next few months, beginning with the first of three screenings that kicked things off.
https://sff2026monthlyscreenings.eventive.org/schedule

We had a wonderful first screening of 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿: 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻 on Friday with CJCS-DJ Jamie Cottle doing double-duty as Host and Guest for our Q&A session during a event that literally had everyone humming along to the 60's, 70's and beyond music track of their lives.

We have 2 more shows TODAY, Saturday, June 13th @ 4pm & 7pm. This is a preview screening, before the film opens in theatres across the country. See it now.

Then, You're Going to Need a Bigger Screen ... Coming up in July we have the Classic Double Feature on Shark Night with the documentary THE SHARK IS STILL WORKING @ 4pm on July 11th, about the incredible behind the scenes events of the film that launched Stephen Spielberg's career and still - 50 years later - makes us scared to go into the water... followed the the greatest fish tale of all time, JAWS - the film that created the Summer Blockbuster.

Yeah, we know you know the story and have probably seen it before, but probably not on a BIG screen in the dark with a bunch of people screaming at every "Du-Dum" of the iconic theme music. Bring the kids, they make good bait.

Then on the 22nd, we have a very Special VIP Screening of Stratford's own Sheila McCarthy's newest film, DANCING ON THE ELEPHANT @ 4pm and 7pm with a VIP Reception and Q&A with the film stars.

And that's just the beginning as we move towards the Fall with some other wonderful film events leading up to our newly expanded 5-Day Full Festival in November.

From music legends and cult classics to family favourites, documentaries, and unforgettable big-screen experiences, there's something for everyone in this year's summer line-up.
