French
film scholars coined the term Film Noir to describe a particular cycle of
American films dealing with dark themes (crime, betrayal, fatalism, and general
post-war malaise) often imbued with a signature shadowy visual style. Though
less well known, and with their own distinct sensibilities and variations,
British filmmakers also made some fascinating contributions to this enigmatic
genre. selection includes vaunted masterworks like Carol Reed's The Third Man
(1949), as well as rarities like the notorious No Orchids for Miss Blandish (St.
John L. Clowes, 1948)–what’s more, this program provides the opportunity to see
many rare archival prints which are being shipped in from the UK. Shot in
locales from London to the Lake District and beyond, this program aims to shine
a light on the darkness from across the pond.
