A series of monthly films at Palm Springs Cultural Center celebrates film legend Alfred Hitchcock. |
Hitchcock series allows fans to see his films as he intended |
|
When the lights dim and the screen goes down to show the Alfred Hitchcock film “Marnie” on Friday at the historic Camelot Theatre, it will be the 10th in a monthly series of the famed director’s films that started in March. The screening will also be part of the start of even bigger plans for 2025.
Driving the news: The Hitchcock series, which began in March, entered what organizers are calling its second phase with November's screening of "Rebecca." Now, they plan to continue the screenings on the first Friday of every month in the new year.
Why it matters: A legendary figure in cinema, Hitchcock crafted films that were not only entertaining but also intellectually stimulating and emotionally engaging.
Behind the scenes: The scholars and organizers emphasize the unique communal experience of watching Hitchcock's films, noting how shared moments of fear, laughter, and suspense create a memorable cinema experience.
Details: Tickets for the upcoming screening of "Marnie" are available for pre-purchase here.
