Neo Noir at the NFSA
National Film and Sound Archive of Australia
Neo Noir takes the genre's familiar ingredients- crime, obsession, corruption and flawed protagonists- and reimagines them for a new era.
Screening on Thursday evenings in February, the selection travels from New York's urban decay to the neon-lit streets of Tokyo, featuring anti-heroes, outsiders and characters navigating worlds shaped by power, desire and uncertainty.
These influential films reveal how noir evolved beyond the black-and-white studio era while retaining many of its defining themes and visual hallmarks.
