As the Dryden celebrates Alfred Hitchcock’s 125th birthday with a year-long series bringing some of his best films to the screen, Dryden Roundtables take a deeper dive into the filmmaker’s work and career. Film professors Jonathan Baldo of the Eastman School of Music, Julie Grossman from LeMoyne College, and Debbie Sutherland from St. John Fisher University will join Curator of Film Exhibitions Jared Case to talk about Hitch’s first twenty-four films, all made in Great Britain before he emigrated to the United States. The panel will discuss his beginnings in silent film and the development of his lyrical camera before moving to sound, highlighting four of his masterpieces screening at the Dryden: Blackmail, The Man Who Knew Too Much, The 39 Steps, and The Lady Vanishes.
