A century after the debut of Alfred Hitchcock’s first feature, he remains one of the most influential filmmakers in the history of cinema. But how does his vast body of work and legacy hold up in today’s world?
Mark Cousins, the award-winning filmmaker behind Women Make Film, The Storms of Jeremy Thomas, and The Story of Film: A New Generation, tackles this question and looks at the auteur with a new and radical approach: through the use of his own voice. As Hitchcock rewatches his films, we are taken on an odyssey through his vast career—his vivid silent films, the legendary films of the 1950s and 60s and his later works—in playful and revealing ways.
After the screening, stay for a conversation and Q&A with Hitchcock Scholars Sidney Gottlieb and Jeff Hughes.
