NomaScope / Museum Cinema / Jaws, 1975

Cult films accompanied by a short introduction and admission to the exhibition Noma Bar: Look Again

Over the years, Noma Bar has created posters for some of cinema’s most iconic and celebrated films. NomaScope, a film series presented in conjunction with the exhibition Noma Bar: Look Again, features films for which Bar created reinterpretations of their original posters, now on view in the exhibition.

In his illustrations, Bar has a remarkable ability to distill a complex idea into a sharp, lucid image. Often, it is precisely the negative space—what is not drawn—that contains an additional layer of meaning, transforming what we thought we saw at first glance. Bringing the films together with the images Bar created for them reveals how an entire cinematic world—its characters, ideas, and tensions—can be distilled into a concise and surprising visual interpretation.

Each screening will be preceded by a short introduction by Yuval Saar, curator of the exhibition.

Jaws

USA, 1975 | Director: Steven Spielberg | Cast: Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert Shaw | 124 min., English with Hebrew subtitles

In the fictional seaside town of Amity Island, a massive great white shark terrorizes residents and visitors. Three men - the police chief (Roy Scheider), a marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss), and a grizzled boat captain (Robert Shaw) join forces in an epic battle between man and nature.

Steven Spielberg’s horror classic, which he directed at just 27 years old, is widely credited with ushering in the era of the summer blockbuster - and has made generations of moviegoers think twice before venturing into the water.
