Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival

Founded in 2000 by the late mystery author and Palm Springs community leader Arthur Lyons, this unique festival features an eclectic mixture of landmark and obscure vintage movies from the classic film noir era. Laden with period post-war cynicism, these glorious black and white films are laden with suspense, sexuality and crime portrayed from the perspective of the criminals. Each year, the Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival showcases the best of film noir accentuated by an array of movie stars or their family members who appear on stage for post screening Q&A discussions.
