Film Noir at the NFSA
National Film and Sound Archive of Australia
Step into a world of smoky bars, shadowy streets and characters always one bad decision away from trouble.
Screening every Sunday in January, the Film Noir program brings together classic tales of private detectives, criminals and femme fatales navigating shadowy cities and murky moral territory.
Defined by stark black-and-white cinematography, urban settings and stories shaped by suspicion, deception and desire, these influential films helped establish many of the visual and storytelling conventions that continue to shape crime cinema today.
