Programme also includes four new films about filmmaking, including projects about Jack Cardiff and Daniel Toscan du Plantier.

Cannes Classics has unveiled its 2010 programme, including a restored version of Jean Renoir’s Boudu Saved From Drowning featuring previously unseen footage.

Other films screening in the section of restored and “lost” films include Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (with reconstructed soundtrack) and Visconti’s The Leopard, Volker Schlöndorff’s new directors cut of The Tin Drum, Pedro Almodovar’s presentation of Bunuel’s 1970 Tristana, and Anjelica Huston sponsoring a restoration of The African Queen.

The section also includes new documentaries about film-making, including a documentary about Jack Cardiff; an exploration of surfing on the big screen; the second in a series of Bergman projects with unseen footage by and of the director; and a “posthumous self-portrait” of Daniel Toscan du Plantier.
