Hitchcock & Horror: Secrets, Shadows, and the Art of Suspense
Just in time for Halloween, join Robert Silberman for a thoughtful exploration of Alfred Hitchcock’s artistry. Though often associated with horror and suspense—a fitting reputation for the season through films like Psycho and The Birds—Hitchcock’s influence extends far beyond the macabre. Silberman will reflect on the director’s wide-ranging career and enduring reputation, from the thrill of North by Northwest to the intrigue of Rear Window, while also sharing insights from his own teaching and research on Hitchcock’s work.
