Film Casting a Shadow: Creating the Alfred Hitchcock Film

  • Hitchcock_event_full

Stylized, self-mythologizing director Alfred Hitchcock would have you believe him to be a one-man originality machine — when, in fact, his films took hundreds of people to bring them to life. The Academy's new exhibition sheds light on Hitchcock's many collaborators — from actors to sound designers to editors — whose contributions were integral to realizing his adventurous cinema. The exhibit's trove of drawings, paintings, storyboards, script pages, and clips exposes the painstaking cooperative process behind his enduring products, from early favorites like Shadow of a Doubt (1943) to the endlessly entertaining North by Northwest (1959).
