On March 8, the University Film Club in Pietermaritzburg is back in action with their Thursday classic films, shown at 18h00 in the CVA lecture theatre in Ridge Road. The featured film will be Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 classic, The Birds.

The Birds is the last film of what is generally considered to be Hitchcock's "great" period. Frivolous socialite Melanie Daniels pursues disapproving lawyer Mitch Brenner, but her pursuit must give way to a fight for survival when nature turns inexplicably murderous. The film contains some of Hitchcock's most potently nightmarish images. Safe parking available.
