<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Shooters Save The Manxman</span></span></span></strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> brings the largest network of independent filmmakers the challenge of saving the great Alfred Hitchcock's silent masterpiece, The Manxman (1929), in partnership with <strong>BFI's Rescue the Hitchcock 9</strong> project. The Manxman is a melodrama featuring a classic love triangle, beautifully shot around the stunning Cornish coastlines. We've decided to rally the cause and help raise £5,000 in support of its restoration by the BFI National Archive. If every Shooter can find some spare pennies and pounds, we’ll all become an integral part of saving this unique piece of cinematic history. </span></span></span></p>
