The master of suspense and maker of such films as Psycho, The Birds and Vertigo and fistfuls has a pretty large body of works that haven't been seen in years. This includes nine surviving silent films Directed by Mr. Hitchcock early in his career. Unfortunately the surviving prints for those 9 films have become very battered, worn and damaged over the years.

The BFI (British Film Institute) is trying to rectify this situation but needs your help. In order to raise the funds to fully restore these films, they're asking for help in the form of donations to go directly towards the restoration efforts. To donate visit the BFI website for more info (www.bfi.org.uk).
