Dark City: Hollywood Noir Films from the somber, brooding, cynical world of Film Noir, a world often reminiscent of our own. In conjunction with the seminar series "Not a Pretty World: The Origins, Conventions & Psychological Landscape of Film Noir" led by Louis Markos.

Elemental / Fundamental Things Counterpointing our visit to the murky world of Film Noir, a pair of films that boil down to essences: in one, the "elementary" vision of Sherlock Holmes, while the other is a fitting finish for both a weekend of Noir's cynical individualism at the Imaginarium and Resistance at Flickerings: reminding us "the fundamental things apply".
