Friday evening’s screenings of The Narrow Margin and Hell's Half Acre were cancelled due to technical difficulties with the sound system, and have been rescheduled for Monday. Our Box Office team has emailed ticket purchasers and passholders. Questions? Email boxoffice@siff.net.

18 films including 12 presented on 35mm & two restorations
Join us at SIFF Cinema Downtown for 18 classic films shining a spotlight on women whose cinematic legacy is entwined with the rise of film noir. Twelve of those will be presented on glorious 35mm including the newest Film Noir Foundation’s restoration of Cry Danger, plus a new 4K restoration of Robert Siodmak’s Phantom Lady. Many of the films star the actresses profiled in Muller’s 2002 book ”Dark City Dames: The Wicked Women of Film Noir,” which is being reissued in April 2025 in a newly revised and expanded edition.
Expert hosts
Film Noir Foundation founder, Turner Classic Movies host, and "Czar of Noir'' Eddie Muller will present all screenings February 14-16, with local noir experts and authors Vince and Rosemarie Keenan taking over hosting duties February 17-20. Enjoy their expert takes and tidbits of film noir facts in their introductions each evening!
Live music
Starting at 5:30pm, join us on Opening Night for a special performance from the Dmitri Matheny Quintet, performing jazz from the silver screen. Lyrical flugelhornist Dmitri Matheny will be joined by his all-star band prior to the screening of The Narrow Margin. A Noir City Seattle tradition not to be missed!
