London: Legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock’s movie Blackmail alongwith his other surviving and restored films will be screened on an outdoor wall at the British Museum as part of a retrospective.

The British Film Institute (BFI) said that the 58-film retrospective, which will also present a number of Hitchcock movies from the silent era, is as important to modern cinema as Picasso is to modern art, reported The Guardian.

“The idea of popular cinema somehow being capable of being great art at the same time as being entertaining is still a problem for some people,” Heather Stewart, creative director of The British Film Institute (BFI) said.

“We would find it very strange if we could not see Shakespeare’s early plays performed, or read Dickens’s early novels. But we’ve been quite satisfied as a nation that Hitchcock’s early films have not been seen in good quality prints on the big screen, even though, like Shakespearean and Dickensian, Hitchcockian has entered our language,” he added.
