There is a hidden artwork in an alley in Nottingham that marks the city's connection to a famous filmmaker. Alma Reville was a talented filmmaker, editor, scriptwriter and director working in the film industry before she married her famous husband, Alfred Hitchcock, in 1926.
The mural, which was painted as part of the Surface Gallery Street Art Exhibition in 2021 by artist Mr Dak, is due to be re-painted next week to mark this year's festival which takes place on July 23. The alley is changed every year during the exhibition with new work from local artists.
Jez Kirby, exhibition co-ordinator at Surface Gallery, said: "Artist Mr Dak created an enormous image of Sir Alfred Hitchcock, an image that also credits Psycho, one of this director's more famous creations. One surprising thing to emerge, and only in the last month, is Alfred's connection to Nottingham."
