🎬 Alfred Hitchcock is considered to be one of the most influential filmmakers in cinema history. His oeuvre is taught in many film schools, and he is regarded as “The Master of Suspense.” His definition of suspense was simple… “There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.” With over 50 films in his filmography and a career that spanned six decades, Hitchcock—whose close friends called “Hitch”—is an icon of classic Hollywood. Who was this man who influenced so may contemporary filmmakers? We will look behind the scenes of some of his most iconic work and under the covers of the man himself. What’s up with Hitch? Let’s find out.This lecture coincides with the theatre production of Dial M for Murder, the murder mystery that inspired one of Alfred Hitchcock’s movie masterpieces, at the FAC from Sept. 19–Oct. 6, 2024.
