Reasons To Be Cheerful: A triumphant return for The Castro Theatre's NOIR CITY Film Festival
Posted by nonong at 12:57 AMAs I write this it's after midnight in the wee hours of Sunday morning, and I'm still buzzing from the superb double-feature I caught earlier this evening in the City at the historic Castro Theatre on the second night of NOIR CITY, The 8th Annual
San Francisco Film Noir Festival.
I'm hoping to get back over once or twice this next week to catch more of the festival before it's gone for another year...
Kicking off tonight's program was the impressive short embedded below, which intercuts clips from a few dozen classic Noir films, synched perfectly with Massive Attack's 'Angel' used as background score.
It was a huge crowd-pleaser for the packed house of Film Noir fanatics at The Castro...
'The Endless Night: a Valentine to Film Noir' was assembled by Serena Bramble, a 20-year-old studying psychology at Santa Rose Junior College.
