2025 Noir City Hollywood Festival Schedule Announced

The Noir City Hollywood Festival, presented by the Film Noir Foundation and the American Cinematheque, returns to the Egyptian Theatre in March 2025.

The festival will open on Thursday, March 20th, with a nitrate screening of ROAD HOUSE (1948).

As usual, Noir City Hollywood will be hosted by the Film Noir Foundation's Eddie Muller and Alan K. Rode.

Movies will be screened Thursday through Sunday on two long weekends, the 20th through the 23rd and the 27th through 30th.

With the exception of opening night, there will be double bills screened each of the festival's eight evenings, along with single-film matinees at 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

The festival will also include single-film screenings of relatively recent "neo-noir" films on the weekends at 4:00 p.m.

I plan to attend on the first seven evenings, only missing the final Sunday night.

While I've previously seen almost all of the classic-era films on the schedule, this will be my first time to see three films theatrically: THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW (1944), MURDER, MY SWEET (1944), and OUT OF THE PAST (1947).

I've listed the complete schedule below, including the screening format of each film. Click on any hyperlinked title to read my full-length review.
