10TH ANNUAL ARTHUR LYONS FILM NOIR FESTIVAL SCREENS MAY 13-16, 2010
Save the Date for the 10th annual Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival to screen Thursday, May 13 through Sunday, May 16 at the Camelot Theaters in Palm Springs.Founded in 2000 by the late mystery author and Palm Springs community leader Arthur Lyons, the popular Film Noir festival includes an eclectic mixture of rarely seen and sometimes obscure stylish black and white “B” movies. This classic “Film Noir” era literally meaning “Film Black” of the 1940’ and 50’s was filled with sexual motivations, cynical attitudes and focused on intriguing crime dramas.
Each year, the festival showcases the best of noir while being a magnet for a scintillating array of “A” list actors for Q&A’s, autographs and book signings.
The 2010 Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival once again combines the formidable talents of co-founder Barbara Lyons, author Alan K. Rode as host/programmer and long time Hollywood casting director Marvin Paige as producer. Jason Bruecks, General Manager of the Camelot Theater, Michael Green and Stephen Boyd Design rounding out the stellar team of players. This year's festival is being executive-produced by J. Hocker and Associates.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Palm Springs Cultural Center a 501(3) c founded in 2007 by Ric & Rozene Supple.
