Filmbar Film School Is Back! 

Psycho (1960) – Alfred Hitchcock’s classic masterpiece of horror and suspense!” Want to learn how to analyze a film? Ever wondered what the “big deal” was about “Psycho”? Just want to get into the Halloween spirit early this year? Join us for  “Fortunato Film School” sponsored by Jilly’s and WAKR where ASU film professor Joe Fortunato will screen, discuss, and provide “live commentary” for Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece of suspense and the grandfather of modern horror films, Psycho – ranked number fourteen on the American Film Institute’s list of 100 greatest films of all time! 

The event will start with a brief discussion about the background and making of the film with Professor Fortunato and WAKR’s Ray Horner. Enjoy breakfast during the screening! During the film, live commentary will be provided, giving you insights into the filmmaking process and some guidance on how to “read” a film creatively. After the film, we can discuss what we’ve learned and debate if it lives up to its reputation and how it has influenced generations of suspense films!

(NOTE: While no “homework” or prior knowledge of film or this movie is required, if you’ve never seen the picture, some people might want to watch it for the first time before coming to the event without the interruptions of live commentary to “experience” the film as it was intended. That is a personal choice, of course, and not a requirement to attend!)
