17 Jul Halifax film screening picks — July 17-23

The original summer blockbuster Jaws is back at Cineplex Park Lane for at least one screening this Friday.

There’s a local annual film festival, and it might be ok to call it the Atlantic International Film Festival, though you probably can’t call it AIFF, and it is presenting an outdoor free screening of The Grand Seduction this Friday evening at the Public Gardens.
