Bryony Dixon, Curator, silent film, poses for a portrait at the British Film Institute (BFI) in Berkhampsted, north of London on October 3, 2024. Sherlock Holmes fans are being promised a most authentic depiction of the fictional detective, with the restoration of a century-old silent film series chronicling the London sleuth's adventures. Audiences will get a first glimpse of the restored works from the early 1920s next week at a London Film Festival screening, accompanied by a newly commissioned live score from Royal Academy of Music performers. — Photo: Justin TALLIS / AFP
