Scotts Valley mayor proclaims Alfred Hitchcock Week ahead of local festival
Summary
Mayor Donna Lind proclaimed March 2–8 as Alfred Hitchcock Week and the council heard from festival organizers about a multi-day Hitchcock Festival in early March that will feature speakers, film screenings and local business participation to support the performing arts center.
Mayor Donna Lind read a proclamation at the Feb. 4 Scotts Valley City Council meeting declaring March 2–8 as Alfred Hitchcock Week, citing Alfred Hitchcock’s historic ties to the city and a planned multi-day festival.
The proclamation cited Hitchcock’s Heart of the Mountain estate in Scotts Valley and recognized local community groups organizing a festival to honor the filmmaker’s connection to the area. City officials and festival organizers said the event will include film screenings and guest speakers, and will be hosted at the Scotts Valley Cultural and Performing Arts Center.
Festival organizers told the council the event is intended both to raise funds for the performing arts center and to draw visitors to the city. The program listed visiting speakers and guests, including Hitchcock’s granddaughter Terri Kuruba, as part of the lineup for the March events.
The council did not take formal action on the proclamation beyond the presentation; organizers invited the community to attend the March festival and consult the festival website for details.
