SUMMARY:The Curious Life & Films of Alfred Hitchcock
DESCRIPTION:The Master of SuspenseAlfred Hitchcock directed more than fifty films. \nHis career began in the silent era and ended in the age of cable and satellite television-a far cry from his parents’ greengrocer’s shop in East London. \nThis lecture analyses his films in the context of his life and considers just why Hitchcock’s films have endured so successfully for so long. \nHe was an innovator with a distinctive individual style. \nThere have been many directors who have tried to emulate Hitchcock but none have surpassed him in the genre of suspense which he defined. \nHis astonishing career started with his British filmsThe LodgerandThe Lady Vanishes\, flourished through his Hollywood triumphs ofRebecca\, Notorious\, Rear WindowandVertigoand concluded withPsychoand the slow decline that began thereafter. \nDr Colin Shindlerhas been lecturing on American and British social and cultural history for over 30 years\, including 20 years at Cambridge University\, exploring film history’s relationship to modern British and American social and cultural history. \nHe has also had a wide-ranging career as a writer and producer in television\, radio and film. \nHe won a BAFTA award for his production of A Little Princess. \nHis production of Young Charlie Chaplin was nominated for a US Prime Time Emmy. \nHe wrote the screenplay for the feature film Buster and was the producer of various television dramas such as Lovejoy and Wish Me Luck. \nHe is best known for his childhood memoir Manchester United Ruined My Life which was short listed for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award. \nGuests are warmly welcomed at lectures\, in person or online. \nGuest tickets are 10 and are available on the door\, on theTASDAGwebsite or atMidsteeple Box Office.
