Essential Cinema
The Academy partnered with the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on a special “Vertigo” section that was part of the Essential Cinema exhibition, TIFF’s inaugural show at its new home, TIFF Bell Lightbox. The exhibition was inspired by the Essential 100, TIFF’s list of the most influential films of all time based on TIFF expert and audience votes. The “Vertigo” section, with materials pulled from the Academy’s own Margaret Herrick Library, explored the creative process behind the 1958 Alfred Hitchcock thriller with items ranging from costume designs to Saul Bass’s iconic title sequence.
Additional collection items relating to other films on the Essential 100 list were also lent by the Academy.
