    Film Explorers: The Birds

    Guest Guillaume Serina will introduce The Birds, the iconic film by Alfred Hitchcock, and lead a post-viewing discussion. The Birds, starring Tippi Hedren, follows a San Francisco socialite who visits a small coastal town where ordinary birds inexplicably begin aggressive and escalating attacks, disrupting daily life without explanation. This suspenseful thriller builds tension slowly, punctuated by visually striking set pieces and an eerie absence of a musical score. It’s notable for its groundbreaking special effects and enduring cultural impact.
