    About

    NOIR CITY, the most popular film noir festival in the world, returns to the Colonial Theatre.  Join us for a 3-day extravaganza featuring 10 films with the theme “Darkness Has No Borders.”

    Eddie Muller has curated all the films and paired them for specific reasons. Eddie will reveal that reason at the event. 

    “This year’s NOIR CITY program is tailored to satisfy folks who love noir that’s full of the colorful vernacular slang so essential to American and British noir—as well as adventurous viewers intrigued by a familiar story–a crime committed for passion or profit—playing out in cultures with different values, mores, and styles.” —Eddie Muller

    Film Noir Foundation founder and Turner Classic Movies host Eddie Muller will be in attendance for this swanky, sexy, and sinister excursion back in time.
