Noir City DC opens with intros by Foster Hirsch!

 

Noir City DC: The Washington D.C. Film Noir Festival

October 11–24



Year in and year out, Eddie Muller and the Film Noir Foundation team deliver an impeccably curated selection of films noir, combining canonical classics with wonderful rarities ripe for rediscovery. This year's edition combines a selection of titles featured earlier this year at Noir City's flagship festival in San Francisco at the Castro Theatre, with five canonical 1944 releases — among them, the films that French film critic Nino Frank first used the term "film noir" to describe — all celebrating their 75th anniversaries this year.

Todd Phillips' exploration of Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), a man disregarded by society, is not only a gritty character study, but also a broader cautionary tale.
