Alfred Hitchcock: pioneer, legend and master of suspense!
Hitchcock's 9 surviving silent films are a vital part of British cinematic history. The BFI's ambition is to present them to the public in 2012, fully restored and with brand new live musical scores.
Hitchcock in the 2012 Festival

The Lodger
Hitchcock's third feature was his first suspense thriller, and is still a remarkably gripping and inventive piece of work. Be part of the challenge to recover its former lustre.
A word from Martin Scorsese
"I'm thrilled that the BFI wants to preserve these films and make them available with the best possible prints for audiences to enjoy. Hitchcock remains an enduring influence on world cinema and I'm proud to be giving my support."
