VertiGhost (Lynn Hershman Leeson, 2017, DCP, 13 mins)
The Royal Road (Jenni Olson, 2015, DCP, 65 mins)
Two experimental filmmakers examine Hitchcock’s Vertigo from very different angles. With a focus on identity and authenticity, Leeson recreates scenes from the film in VertiGhost to explore the construction of reality in life and art. In The Royal Road, Olson follows the Mission Trail in a cinematic essay on nostalgia, film history, the colonization of California, and the pursuit of unavailable women.

The “VertiGoals” film series is devoted to Hitchcock’s Vertigo and a selection of films it inspired.
