Directed by Ida Lupino: Macabre Television
- This is a past program
Part of the UCLA Film & Television Archive screening series Archive Talks. Register at cinema.ucla.edu/events to attend this in-theater screening.
In person: Ida Lupino scholar Alexandra Seros
One of the few women directors working in TV in the 1950s and 1960s, screen legend Ida Lupino defied barriers to helm over 50 network episodes across a wide variety of series and genres. Crowned the “female Hitchcock” by the TV industry, Lupino's artistic mark on the medium is perhaps best illustrated by her directorial work in a trio of macabre tales from the beloved horror-tinged television series: Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Thriller, and Twilight Zone.
Join us for a trio of unforgettably macabre television episodes directed by Ida Lupino. Post-screening Q&A with Lupino scholar Alexandra Serors and Maya Montañez Smukler, Archive Research and Study Center Officer and author of Liberating Hollywood: Women Directors and the Feminist Reform of 1970s American Cinema.
