Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, Vittorio de Sica, Yasujiro Ozu, Ingmar Bergman, and Francois Truffaut each broke new ground in cinema, and we will see how they accomplished that. Each week, I will introduce the feature (or double feature) before screening it without interruption. We will have a brief discussion following each movie. 

1. “Sherlock Jr.,” Keaton, 1924, and “The Circus,” Chaplin, 1928, U.S.
2. “The Thirty-Nine Steps,” Hitchcock, 1935, U.K.
3. “The Bicycle Thief,” de Sica, 1948, Italy
4. “Tokyo Story,” Ozu, 1953, Japan
5. “The Seventh Seal,” Bergman, 1957, Sweden
6. “The 400 Blows,” Truffaut, 1959, France

Please note: Weeks 1 and 4 will run an extra half-hour, from 4pm to 6:30pm, due to longer run-times. Weeks 2, 3, 5, and 6 will be from 4pm to 6pm, the usual ASC schedule.

I made my first movie “Night of the Guano,” a documentary about avoiding seabird bycatch, in 1997, during my career as a commercial halibut fisherman in Alaska. After retiring from fishing, I made a few more films. My last one, “The Bath,” played in film festivals and received a few awards. See FidalgoFilms to see those movies.
