Vertigo

Julian Hoeber’s Demon Hill installation is an homage to the anxiety-producing, perception-warping “gravitational mystery spots” of t he American roadside tradition. Join us for two nights of films that explore ideas of illusion, perception, and disorientation. We will screen Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece Vertigo, which follows an acrophobic detective around late 1950s San Francisco, and Jacques Tati’s brilliant film Playtime, in which a group of tourists negotiate a futuristic 1967 Paris of right angles and sharp lines. Both films will be presented in glorious 70mm! (1958, USA. 128 min. Dir. Alfred Hitchcock)
