The Making of Hitchcock's The Birds

The Making of Hitchcock's The Birds examines Hitchcock's most innovative and technically challenging film: from its modernist underpinnings and art director Robert Boyle's initial sketches influenced by Munch's The Scream, to the groundbreaking electronic score by pioneering German composers Remi Gassmann and Oskar Sala. The entire production process is analysed, illustrated with rare behind the scenes production stills and storyboards. There is also a timeline detailing the film's production to its release at MOMA in New York, and the 1963 Cannes Film Festival.
