The Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival returns to the Camelot Theatres in Palm Springs to celebrate its 14th year on May 16-19, 2013. Writer and Film Noir Foundation director Alan K. Rode, who is producing and hosting the festival for the sixth consecutive year, promises another fun-filled weekend of classic noir enlivened by special guest star appearances and introductions by noted film historians. 

"I try to keep the Festival fresh for our core audience members who aren't necessarily habitués of the film noir festival circuit," said Rode. "While the guest stars and the commentators are a major component of the festival's rich heritage, our loyal patrons continue to sustain the Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival primarily because of the unique mix of films that are programmed every year."

Rode is scheduled to share the hosting duties with Film Noir Foundation President, Eddie Muller,  and film historian/writer Foster Hirsch. All Access Passes are scheduled to go on Sale on Monday April 15, 2013.
