Treasures
Revived and restored from the world’s archives.
The Black Pirate
One of the great joys of the silent era, The Black Pirate returns in a Technicolor restoration by MoMA, using materials from the BFI collection.
The Dupes
Egyptian director Tewfik Saleh’s uncompromising film was banned for decades. It still has the power to unsettle audiences in this striking restoration.
Macario
Championed by Guillermo del Toro, this collaboration between Roberto Gavaldón and Gabriel Figueroa merges poetry, realism and fantasy to beguiling effect.
Peeping Tom
Michael Powell’s very British Psycho, which remains a shocking exploration of voyeurism, sadism and murder, returns in this world premiere restoration.
Pressure
Britain’s first Black feature, now restored by the BFI National Archive, is a groundbreaking depiction of second-generation experience in 1970s London.
The Stranger and the Fog
A Holy Grail of the Iranian New Wave, Beyzaie’s strange, challenging, densely symbolic film is utterly absorbing and one of the restoration revelations of the year.
