Movie buff? Head to Hong Kong to see some Alfred Hitchcock

Everyone loves a great movie, so if you are a huge Alfred Hitchcock fan, head over to the Hong Kong Film Archive to see some of the director's lesser-known films.
Starting on September 10, the Hong Kong Film Archive, Space Museum and Science Museum will all be screening Hitchcock's earlier works along with lesser known films, according to the New York Times.
The first half of the screenings will be from the director's period spent in Britain, with his American films being shown starting on November 5.
In the films "The 39 Steps" and "The Lady Vanishes," the director's visual focus and tendency towards dark subject matter are already evident, according to the news source. Take the opportunity to see some of his earlier work, which is not as easily accessible.
Hong Kong offers visitors plenty of options and is a place with many personalities. The former British colony is carving out a place for itself in the travel world, as a cultural melting pot, that offers something for everyone.ADNFCR-3357-ID-19929306-ADNFCR
