NOIR CITY takes a bite out of The Big Apple
At long last, NOIR CITY will make its debut in New York City, July 10—19, at the Paris Theater. FNF founder Eddie Muller will host the 10-day festival showcasing 32 feature films, with special guest introductions, short films, and an Opening Night musical performance by this year’s MS. NOIR CITY, Elizabeth Bougerol. The festival will be structured in two parts.
From July 10—16, NOIR CITY: New York will present this year’s NOIR CITY theme, “Face the Music!”, a 16-film program of crime and mystery films featuring . . . musicians! From early examples of Hollywood noir like Blues in the Night (1941) to jazz-fueled sixties’ gems like All Night Long (1962) and A Man Called Adam (1966), the movies feature genuine musical legends like Elvis Presley, Sammy Davis Jr., Hoagy Carmichael, and Doris Day performing alongside film noir favorites including Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Ida Lupino, Kirk Douglas, Ann Sheridan, and Rita Hayworth.
Additionally, NOIR CITY: New York will present “Dead End Streets,” a collection of some of the genre’s all-time favorites, which will include the East Coast premieres of new 4K restorations of Jacques Tourneur’s Out of the Past (1947) starring Robert Mitchum and Stranger on the Third Floor (1940) featuring a memorably unsettling Peter Lorre. Included as part of “Dead End Streets” are the films Double Indemnity, In a Lonely Place, and Ace in the Hole, as well as New York-centric titles such as Killer’s Kiss, The Big Clock, Guilty Bystander, and many more! "Dead End Streets" times and dates vary.
