Testimonials

  • "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I have learned so much with this group of great minds!"

    Ana Roland, Attendee

  • “Love watching Hitchcock’s films? Love the post-screening discussions Hitchcock claimed were indispensable to the filmgoing experience? Then HitchCon is the place to be.”

    Thomas Leitch, author, The Alfred Hitchcock Encyclopedia

  • "Anybody (like me) who loves and is moved by the work of Alfred Hitchcock should do themselves a favor and participate in the annual deep dive that is HitchCon. It's rare to get the chance to rub elbows with some of the best living Hitchcock scholars and this is your chance to do so. As a filmmaker, I find these conferences inspiring and illuminating."

    Norman Buckley, Producer & Director, Sweet Magnolias, Pretty Little Liars, Charmed, Gossip Girl

  • As a classics professor interested in film studies, HitchCon is critical to my engagement with Hitchcock's work. The talks and responses not only pose fresh perspectives, they spawn lively conference experiences where I make new friends and engage with familiar and new colleagues.

    Mark W. Padilla, author, Classical Myth in Alfred Hitchcock's Wrong Man and Grace Kelly Films

  • "Coming from Eastern Europe, HitchCon is a dream come true: a gathering of experts, cinephiles and energetic thinkers who enjoy exchanging observations about all things Hitchcock. Joel Gunz does a terrific job as the go-to man who shares with us his passion for the Master.”

    Sebastian Smoliński, Film Scholar & Podcaster, Foreign Correspondents

  • "I thought I had learned all there is to know about Hitchcock. Not so! HitchCon keeps surprising me with new insights. It's a wonderful forum of great people eagerly sharing their observations about The Master's movies and more."

    Chris Kochmanski, Attendee

  • "Thanks to the 'game master' Joel Gunz, the HitchCon family is thriving. I was so inspired by this community of scholars, fans and Hitchcock admirers that I crafted a new course at my university for this coming fall. Hitch, here we come!"

    Karen A. Ritzenhoff, Ph.D., Professor of Communication, Central Connecticut State University

  • "HitchCon has been a must-attend event for me since its inception. Each year I learn so much from the many Hitchcock fans and scholars in attendance: they truly open Hitch's work and world to me in whole new ways!"
