The BFI National Archive’s major new project – the restoration of a series of films starring Eille Norwood, Conan-Doyle’s favourite screen Sherlock – will be presented with a live score at Alexandra Palace as part of the BFI London Film Festival. -- BFI
New to me and over 100 years after the fact: there is a series of silent movies (45 two reelers and two features) that adapt Sherlock Holmes stories. Conan Doyle himself was approached for the rights by a British film company in the early 1920s.
From the BFI YouTube page:
"How is the BFI National Archive bringing Conan Doyle's favourite screen Sherlock back to cinemas? The BFI's Curator of Silent Film, Bryony Dixon, dusts of the casebook and reveals all in our latest 'Inside the Archive' video."
