PACIFIC CINEMATHEQUE 1131 Howe St., 604-688-FILM www.cinematheque.bc.ca.
The Late, Great Rainer Werner Fassbinder (1945-1982) June marked the 30th anniversary of the untimely 1982 death of the great German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Fassbinder's is a cinema, and a life, of staggering extremes, stunning productivity, unparalleled accomplishment. He was both wunderkind and enfant terrible of the New German Cinema, and perhaps its leading luminary. Certainly, with Werner Herzog and Wim Wenders, a part of its great triumvirate. Many place Fassbinder at the peak of an even higher summit: the most important filmmaker of the postwar period since Godard. Over the summer Pacific Cinémathèque is screening 17 of his films during a major retrospective of his work.
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock: The Complete Works for Television, Two French Rarities, and Nine Sensational Masterpieces
Almost always overlooked in retrospectives of Alfred Hitchcock's directorial work are the many films Hitchcock directed for television in the seven years from 1955 to 1962, in the midst of what is almost certainly the greatest creative peak of his filmmaking career. Pacific Cinémathèque's summer Hitchcock season, "Directed by Alfred Hitchcock," offers an alternative look at the Master of Suspense's work by shining a rare spotlight on all 20 of the films Hitchcock directed for TV, two French-language films commissioned by the British Ministry of Information in 1944 plus nine of his greatest masterpieces: The 39 Steps, Sabotage, Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho, The Birds and Marnie.
