Director Alfred Hitchcock’s career spanned forty years and many film eras. On Wednesday, October 20 at 6:45 pm, film expert Rick Winston will join us via Zoom to discuss the evolution of Hitchcock’s craft, exploring his favorite themes, his relationship with his collaborators, and his wry sense of humor no matter how grisly the subject matter.

By drawing on twelve film clips, starting with his 1925 silent The Lodger and continuing through to his Hollywood classics such as Notorious and Rear Window, Winston will illuminate the arc of Hitchcock’s brilliant career. (P.S. We’ll actually be screening that latter film on Friday evening, a perfect companion viewing after attending this talk — more details and how to register for the movie night here!)
