It's that time of year again! Time for the Chicago International Film Festival! (October 5-19th).
There will be several films showing considered part of the film noir genre including:
-Buzz (Greece, Spiro N. Taraviras)
-Film Noir (UK, Osbert Parker): A film dedicated to the genre of Film Noir. Composed of eight shorts. The first short in Film Noir is titled The Luminary. It is about a man in a desperate search to find the Luna Moth in order to finally complete his insect collection. The second short is Never like the First Time. In NLTFT, four individuals open up about their first sexual experiences with intimate detail. The third short, Ice Floe, documents an obese girl dealing with continuous judgmental stares and glances throughout the summer. In the fourth short titled, Guide Dog, a 'hero' repeatedly tries to help the blind but always ends up with disastrous consequences. The fifth short, The Lost Bag, tells a story of a man who comes across a mysterious sack of gold. He begins a journey around town to find the owner of the gold. The danish Poet is the sixth short. It is about a poet experiencing a lack of inspiration. He goes to visit his favorite writer in hopes that it will inspire him to do better in his own writing. The seventh short, McLaren's Negatives praises the mind and films of the legendary animator, Norman McLaren.
The eighth and final short of the film is One Rat Short. One Rat Short sounds quite interesting. In this short we follow a rat chasing some litter throughout a subway, leading to an intense and dangerous journey of love and loss.
