Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “My Name is Alfred Hitchcock”, showing Nov. 15-21 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
A century after Alfred Hitchcock’s first film, he remains one of the most influential filmmakers in the history of cinema. But how does his vast body of work and legacy hold up in today’s society?
Mark Cousins — the award-winning filmmaker behind “The Story of Film: An Odyssey”, “The Eyes of Orson Welles” and “The Storms of Jeremy Thomas” — tackles this question and looks at the auteur with a new and radical approach: through the use of his own voice. As Hitchcock rewatches his films, we are taken on an odyssey through his vast career – his vivid silent films, the legendary films of the 1950s and 60s and his later works – in playful and revealing ways.
“Hitch feels brought to life again…there’s a feeling of surprise, invention, and spontaneity.” —Indiewire
“In ‘My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock’ there is so much to learn and enjoy. You come away from it with your senses fine-tuned.” — The Guardian
