Noir City: Chicago
A list created by sleestakk
Complete list of all the films that have screened at Noir City: Chicago since it began in 2009. Eddie Muller who heads up the Film Noir Foundation has appeared every year to introduce and discuss the films. I skipped 2016 but back with a full pass for 2017 but didnt attend every day.
Fun fact: 2010 only featured 9 films total (a few of the films screened on multiple nights); 2009 only featured 8 films compared to 18 total films in 2015. 2017 also featured 18 films on 35mm. 2018 featured 18 films with a new theme of A-movie/B-movie titles paired from the same year, each pair a different year in chronological order by year.
Update: Added 2018, the 10th Anniversary! Missing The Blue Dahlia bc the list won’t accept it.
Update: Added 2019 lineup; 3 films from 2019 screened at a previous Noir City
