Broadly, my hope is that this Scalar book will serve as a videographic companion to François Truffaut's Hitchcock by:
Translating the conversation between Truffaut and Hitchcock into moving images and sounds
Moving their conversation beyond the limitations of the written word
Challenging their understandings of — and discovering new things about — Hitchcock’s work
Being a pedagogical tool for those teaching Hitchcock and Hitchcock
Prompting new conversations about their conversation
Seeing Truffaut'sHitchcock is broken into chapters that correspond to those in Truffaut's Hitchcock. Those familiar with the text will remember that it is divided into 16 chapters, each of which begins with a title page listing the films, topics, and concepts discussed in the chapter. Thus, if one is looking for a visualization of a concept discussed in, for example, chapter 6 of Hitchcock, one would find it in chapter 6 of this Scalar book. Of course, I have not come close to creating a video for each item discussed in the text. My plan is to continue updating this book with new videos as I make them.
This book previously took the form of a website. I began the project in 2018 as an independent study at Middlebury College under the supervision of Christian Keathley.
