“Shadow of a Doubt” is the first feature in our BURIED BUT ALIVE! series. This is the first installment of the series since 2021! As you may recall, in this series we present the lesser known titles of master filmmaker, and in this case specifically, the master of suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock. We aim to screen the titles that have been forgotten, the films that dwell in the shadows of Hitchcock’s masterpieces “Psycho”, “Vertigo” and “The Birds” but are, we argue, just as deserving of an active and engaged modern audience.
In 1943’s Shadow of a Doubt: Charlotte “Charlie” Newton is bored with her quiet life at home with her parents and her younger sister. She wishes something exciting would happen and knows exactly what they need: a visit from her sophisticated and much travelled Uncle Charlie Oakley, her mother’s younger brother. Imagine her delight when, out of the blue, they receive a telegram from Uncle Charlie announcing that he is coming to visit them for awhile. Young Charlie begins to notice some odd behavior on his part, and when two strangers appear asking questions about him, she begins to imagine the worst about her dearly beloved Uncle Charlie.

The celebration continues on May 11th with the CNY Onstage Live variety show at the Capitol Theatre stage. This event, hosted by Sydney Irving, recent winner of the 2024 SAMMY for best pop album, will feature a range of performances including music by former American Idol semi-finalist Ethan Harris, the Blues Brothers of Central New York, magic acts, stand-up comedy by Brendan McGurk and Brenda Reinhardt, and special appearances.
The Local Film Shorts Showcase will take place on May 18th at Cinema Capitol. This event has become a staple in our community, showcasing local short films. Additionally, local artist profiles and short films will also screen prior to each movie at Cinema Capitol.
