NOIR CITY XMAS- Dec 20, 2023 at the Grand Lake Theatre, Oakland, CA

NOIR CITY 21 PASSPORT

The world's most popular film noir festival, NOIR CITY, returns to Oakland's Grand Lake Theatre January 19-28, 2024.

Festival devotees will enjoy ten dark days of noir-themed double features as they were meant to be seen—on the big screen in a historic movie palace. Hosted by FNF founder and TCM host Eddie Muller, this year's program of double features pairs one English-language noir with one similarly themed international noir.
