Projections in 35 mm film

One of the best-loved genres from the golden age of Hollywood, the "noir" has forged the collective imagination of countless generations with its dark urban atmospheres, its moral ambiguity, its cynical detectives who stop at nothing to get what they want, and its breathtakingly beautiful femmes fatales.  It is more of a universe than a genre, in which the American studio system frequently teams up with European malaise to concoct an explosive mixture.  The retrospective, entitled It Was Night-Time in Hollywood, pays tribute to this extraordinarily rich universe and to its leading players, including such legendary film directors as Lang, Siodmak, Wilder, Preminger, Welles and Sternberg, such unique and charismatic stars as Bogart, Mitchum and Lancaster, and actresses of the calibre of Barbara Stanwyck, Gene Tierney and Lauren Bacall who were to become fully-fledged icons in their own right.  This is an extraordinary opportunity to allow yourself to fall once again under the spell of the dark side of Hollywood.
