Noir City DC

October 8–22

Year in and year out, Eddie Muller and the Film Noir Foundation (FNF) team deliver an impeccably curated selection of films noir, combining canonical classics with wonderful rarities ripe for rediscovery. In 2026, the joint will be jumping when Noir City DC kicks out the jams with an exciting program of crime and mystery films featuring…musicians! The movies in this year’s lineup feature genuine musical legends like Elvis Presley, Sammy Davis Jr. and Doris Day performing alongside film noir favorites including Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Ida Lupino, Rita Hayworth and Kirk Douglas.

The full lineup will be announced in September.

Special thanks to the Film Noir Foundation — including Eddie Muller, Foster Hirsch and Daryl Sparks — for their invaluable work.
