SANTA MARIA — Allan Hancock College’s film and television program is celebrating the work of acclaimed director Tim Burton by hosting a retrospective of his work through the end of April.
The film and television program is partnering with the Friends of the AHC Library to host a screening of “Beetlejuice” on April 19 at 6 p.m., followed by a screening of “Big Fish” on April 26 at 6 p.m. Both movies will be shown in the screening room of the college’s Fine Arts Complex (Bldg. F, Room 257).
“A Tim Burton film is always a momentous occasion,” said filmmaker and Hancock film and television professor Christopher Hite. “His next film, the much-anticipated sequel to ‘Beetlejuice’, will be released this fall, so it seemed like the right time to revisit his work, especially the original film.”
Hite— an award-winning filmmaker, screenwriter and animator— said the retrospective was an opportunity for both students and the public to watch and contemplate Burton’s long career and contributions to the art of film.
“Burton’s work reflects an artist that is in tune with various genres and eras of film history. He has always been willing to experiment and explore the dimensions of cinema,” said Hite. “For me, I find his approach to making films very relatable. He starts from a place of artistic interest and makes his story universes conform to that vision.”
The screenings are free and open to the public, but seating is limited. Tickets are available at https://www.hancockcollege.edu/pathways/creative-arts/performances.php.

Ambas peli?culas sera?n presentadas en la sala de proyeccio?n del
Complejo de Bellas Artes (edificio F, Salo?n 257) en el campus de Santa Mari?a.
“Cualquier peli?cula de Tim Burton es un acontecimiento importante,” dijo Christopher Hite, cineasta y profesor de cine y televisio?n de Hancock. “Su pro?xima peli?cula, la secuela de ‘Beetlejuice’, se estrena al cine este oton?o. Este el momento adecuado para revisitar su obra, especialmente la peli?cula original.”
Hite, un cineasta, guionista y animador reconocido, reconocio? que la retrospectiva es una oportunidad tanto para los estudiantes como para el pu?blico de observar y reflexionar sobre la exitosa carrera de Burton y sus contribuciones al arte cinematogra?fico.
“El trabajo de Burton refleja a un artista que esta aclamado con varios ge?neros y eras de la historia cinematogra?fica. Burton siempre experimenta y descubre las dimensiones de peli?cula,” dijo Hite. “Yo me identifico bastante con su enfoque para hacer peli?culas. El proceso comienza en un lugar de intere?s arti?stico y luego hace que sus universos arti?sticos se ajusten a esa visio?n.”
Las proyecciones sera?n gratis y abiertas al pu?blico, pero el cupo es limitado. Los boletos esta?n disponibles en
