The 8th Annual Festival of Film Noir

From April 12th - May 2 the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood California will be presenting the 8th Annual Festival of Film Noir in association with the American Cinematheque and the Film Noir Foundation.

The theme of this years festival is Noir City: Los Angeles vs. New York, and in an impressive series of films that capture each city in its mid-20th century prime, audiences will be able to decide which one deserves the coveted Noir crown.

This three week long festival will include classic favorites as well as obscure films, and the movies will be presented in a double bill that offers one film set in Los Angeles and the other in New York.

Some of the movies featured at the festival include Odds Against Tomorrow (1959), The Killing (1956), Force of Evil (1948), Sweet Smell of Success (1957), Pickup on South Street (1953), The Breaking Point (1950), The Big Knife (1955), Port of New York (1949), City of Fear (1959), The Crooked Web (1955) and Shockproof (1949).

If you enjoy Film Noir and will be in Los Angeles during the next few weeks, you won't want to miss this fantastic opportunity to enjoy some hard-boiled mystery and dark drama at the fabulous Festival of Film Noir.
