Tickets are $12, and students receive free admission with ID. RiverRun will contribute net ticket proceeds from the screening to the North Carolina Arts Foundation’s N.C. Arts Disaster Relief Fund to help neighboring artists and arts organizations in Western North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Tickets are available at riverrunfilm.com. Rob Davis, RiverRun director and a speaker at New York University’s Alfred Hitchcock Centennial Conference in 1999, will provide a special introduction to the screening. Davis, who knows one of the stars of  “North by Northwest,” Eva Marie Saint, and Hitchcock’s daughter, Pat, describes the film as murder and mayhem from Manhattan to the Midwest to Mount Rushmore. “The 65th anniversary of ‘North by Northwest’ also coincides with the 125th anniversary of Hitchcock’s birth and the 100th birthday of one of the film’s stars, Eva Marie Saint, who celebrated her birthday in July,” Davis said....
