Alfred Hitchcock — Master of Suspense (Virtual)

6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Registration Required Below Click here to join the webinar on Zoom. Webinar ID: 885 3196 6034 Passcode: film Thank you! This Halloween season, join us for an adult dose of horror as we delve into the movie-making genius of Alfred Hitchcock! Brian Rose, film expert and professor emeritus at Fordham University, illustrates the achievements of “the master of suspense”  through dozens of film clips and examines the director's extraordinary creativity as one of the 20th century’s greatest filmmakers. For five decades, first in England, then in Hollywood, Hitchcock made 54 films, including classics such as The Thirty- Nine Steps, Rebecca, Notorious, Rear Window, North by Northwest, Vertigo, and Psycho. Few filmmakers have been as popular, critically celebrated, and as influential. Hitchcock was not only a director, but a multi-media showman through his tv series, magazines, book anthologies, and even board games and record albums. About Our Presenter BRIAN ROSE is a professor emeritus at Fordham University, where he taught for 38 years in the Department of Communication and Media Studies. He’s written several books on television history and cultural programming, and conducted more than a hundred Q&A’s with leading directors, actors, and writers for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, the Screen Actors Guild, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, and the Directors Guild of America. His zoom lectures on film and television history have been presented at the Smithsonian, the 92nd St Y., and at JCCs and libraries throughout the country.
