Grab your valentine and join us for NOIR CITY Seattle, February 14-20—this year at SIFF Cinema Downtown. This year’s program shines a spotlight on women whose cinematic legacy is entwined with the rise of film noir. Twelve of the 18 films screening will be presented on glorious 35mm including the Film Noir Foundation’s restoration of Cry Danger as well as a new 4K restoration of Robert Siodmak’s Phantom Lady. Many of the films star the actresses profiled in Muller’s 2002 book Dark City Dames: The Wicked Women of Film Noir, which is being reissued in April 2025 in a newly revised and expanded edition.
FNF founder Eddie Muller will present all screenings February 14-16, with local noir experts and authors Vince and Rosemarie Keenan taking over hosting duties February 17-20. Enjoy their expert takes and tidbits of film noir facts in their introductions each evening!
Join us on Opening Night, starting at 5:30 p.m., for a special performance by the Dmitri Matheny Quintet, performing jazz from the silver screen. Lyrical flugelhornist Matheny will be joined by his all-star band prior to the screening of The Narrow Margin. A NOIR CITY Seattle tradition not to be missed!
