The Palm Springs area will live up to its reputation for seediness under the cover of never-ending nights — irony intended — as the Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival returns to town for its 22nd annu…
for a four-day deep dive into the dark that kicks off Thursday night with the 1949 Nicholas Ray film whose title pretty much says it all about the genre being celebrated: “They Live by Night.”
Rode brought the festival back last fall outside its usual May time slot to get things back on track after sitting out 2020 due to the pandemic, but getting back on pace in springtime this year — shortly after he also co-hosts, with Muller, the annual Noir City festival in Hollywood — represents a return to normalcy, to the extend that anyone wants to use the word “normal” in conjunction with such a belovedly twisted genre.
“Back in October we were missing a percentage of our audience because of COVID. We are now back in our usual mid-May time slot and I am confident that the loyal Coachella Valley film fans — along with those from L.A., San Diego and the rest of SoCal and beyond, who have supported this festival for 22 incredible years — will turn out this week at the Palm Springs Cultural Center. The Cultural Center [formerly the Camelot Theaters] is the best place I know to watch a movie.
