Central Library, 4th and Denver -- Aaronson Auditorium, 1st floor
Film Noir
Back alleys, rainy nights, shadows, guns and double crosses; private eyes, femme fatales, bartenders and gangsters -- film noir, a French term meaning "black film," has been called the most American film genre. Though often identified with their low-lit, black-and-white look, these hard-boiled tales range from the police procedural to the gangster film to the gothic romance and beyond. Hollywood insiders explore this film genre in this short documentary.
Enjoy free popcorn and lemonade, or bring your lunch.
