HitchCon ‘26: behold your future

The magic of cinema. The phrase is familiar, yet the uncanny power of the moving image remains an everlasting mystery. Alfred Hitchcock’s films traffic in all manner of magic from sleight-of-hand editing tricks to strange doubles, animistic touches and flirtations with the supernatural. Join us for an exclusive peek behind the veil. At HitchCon ‘26, an international conclave of scholars and seekers will peer into the Master’s work to divine meaning from the weird, the eerie and the dreamlike. We’ll also shine a lantern on his final act of magic, Family Plot (1976). And, as always, you’ll have ample time to lend your voice to spirited discussions that last late into the night.

Special session: David Lynch

This year, we’ll also follow a scarlet thread into the dark regions haunted by one of Hitchcock’s most gifted heirs with a special session exploring the films of the late wizard of high weirdness, David Lynch.
