Last year I told myself, “I really, really want to go to next year’s Noir City, the annual San Francisco film noir festival. Sadly, there’s nothing quite like it in New York, as far as I know: ten days of screenings — twenty four movies — from the golden age of noir filmmaking. Several of these classic flicks have been newly restored, and all have been impeccably curated by The Film Noir Foundation. I’ve really become fascinated by this genre in recent years, and I can’t get enough of them.
Alas, this year’s festival kicks off tonight and runs through 30 Jan, but I won’t be able to make it. Next year, I gotta figure out a way to be in the Bay Area during the week when this happens. More information here.
