Film
Hitchcock fans, mark your calendars. BAM/PFA and the SF Silent Film Festival present us with a series of silent films that Hitchcock made between 1925 and 1929, many of which are rare gems in the filmmaker's famous repertoire. The British Film Institute has recovered original material that had gone missing from available prints in one of the most ambitious restoration efforts ever undertaken. If that's not enough to sell you on this event...
