Bronxville Adult School Partners with The Picture House for Spring

Bronxville, NY — The Bronxville Adult School (BAS) is excited to continue its partnership with The Picture House Regional Film Center (TPH) to present two more Hitchcock films, following the success of the Hitchcock film series this winter and last year’s Film Noir series. This collaboration continues the commitment to offering adults in Bronxville and the surrounding communities enriching cultural and educational experiences.

Film screenings are followed by insightful discussions led by Spencer Sapienza, Education Manager at The Picture House, where he offers an in-depth look at Hitchcock's career, his filmmaking techniques, and his lasting influence on the thriller genre.

“I’ve loved working with the Bronxville Adult School on our Noir screening series and our current Hitchcock course. It’s such a joy to share these classic films with movie buffs and newcomers alike,” said Spencer Sapienza. This partnership with The Picture House provides an incredible opportunity for the community to engage with these timeless films in a fun and educational setting.

There are two screenings coming up from Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic body of work:

• Thursday, May 8: The Lady Vanishes – A thrilling classic, blending suspense, romance, and deception as a woman mysteriously disappears on a European train.
• Thursday, June 5: Suspicion – A chilling psychological thriller starring Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine, where love is clouded by lies and fear, and a chilling twist keeps you guessing.

You can register for the films by visiting the BAS website at https://www.bronxvilleadultschool.org.

Sapienza has also taught Introduction to Screenwriting with The Picture House at BAS, teaching the basics of TV and motion picture screenwriting while workshopping ideas for feature scripts or TV pilots.
