IPH's The Anticipation of Fear: Hitchcock's Essential Films Interview with Sam Shapiro

We have a unique and special interview for you this week. Starting this month, Charlotte's Independent Picture House features a monthly series highlighting the essential films of legendary director Alfred Hitchcock. The series was co-curated by Sam Shapiro, whose career as an educator and film archivist for the Charlotte Mecklenberg public library permitted him countless opportunities to study and educate about the work of the legendary Master of Suspense.

Reed sits down with Sam to survey the cinema master's work, from his early silent films to his iconic masterpieces. It's a vibrant and surprisingly thorough conversation, touching on many of Hitchcock's best and most interesting films. It not only serves as a promotion for IPH's upcoming series on Hitchcock's films, but also as an introduction to what keeps Hitchcock at the top of lists of cinema's most important and influential filmmakers.

If you're a fan of Hitchcock's work, we think you'll love this conversation. If you're only familiar with a couple of his major films, we think you'll be fascinated by the places you might venture next. And if you're in the Charlotte area this year, be sure to check out the films in the series THE ANTICIPATION OF FEAR: HITCHCOCK'S ESSENTIAL FILMS at the Independent Picture House.
