Jalal Toufic: Five Hitchcock Films as You’ve Never Seen Them Before

The Five Hitchcock Films As You’ve Never Seen Before exhibition at the Beirut Art Center invites audiences to experience Alfred Hitchcock’s classic films through an entirely new lens. Curated and reimagined by acclaimed thinker, filmmaker, and author Jalal Toufic, this exhibition takes a deep dive into the psychological and conceptual elements of Hitchcock's iconic films, transforming them into complex, thought-provoking experiences.

Through Toufic’s unique approach, these five films are not merely viewed—they are deconstructed, reinterpreted, and spatially re-imagined. Visitors are encouraged to engage with these films in ways that challenge traditional cinema conventions. The exhibition pushes the boundaries of film and art, questioning how the cinematic medium constructs and manipulates time, perception, and narrative.
