ABOUT THE FILM: “Sharksploitation” is a subgenre of exploitation films that burst onto the scene in the aftermath of the monumental success of Steven Spielberg’s JAWS. This new documentary from Stephen Scarlata, the mind behind the award-winning JODOROWSKY’S DUNE, delves into the depths of shark-themed cinema, from the golden age of aquatic horror up through the modern era, exploring of how and why these predators captured the imagination of filmmakers and audiences alike, while also exploring the impact cinema had on sharks as a species themselves. This documentary will swallow you whole. FORMAT: DCP DISTRIBUTOR: IFC Films COUNTRY: USA
