HITCHCOCK'S TROPES

Mark Metaphor meets the Master of Suspense. The MacGuffin. Hitchcockian mirrored twins. Blondes, brunettes and the ol’ bait & switch. The films of Alfred Hitchcock are filled with cinematic tropes: textbook examples of storytelling techniques that have shaped the way we all watch movies. With a lecture set to music-video remixes of Alfred Hitchcock films, Mark Metaphor will take you through the Hitchcockian concepts we can see in all sorts of cinematic examples. After a solid stint in clown-ish burlesque & MC hosting, Mark Metaphor returns to his multimedia presentation roots, reminiscent of earlier Fringe shows in his stand-up comedy career. Not only will you understand why Alfred Hitchcock is considered cinema’s most influential auteur, you will never watch a movie the same way again.
