Kit Film Noir Festival

615 West 129 Street
New York, NY 10027

The Dr. Saul and Dorothy Kit Film Noir Festival is a 10-year festival series devoted to the legacy of film noir. Launched in 2018, and postponed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the festival combines public film screenings with lectures from renowned film scholars. Festival organizers select a distinct theme for each year’s festival to revisit the noir canon from a unique perspective. Most screenings are on 35mm film and located at Columbia University’s Lenfest Center for the Arts. All lectures, also located at the Lenfest Center, are livestreamed online.

The festival is programmed by Rob King, the Director of Undergraduate Studies at the Columbia Film Program, and managed by Alexandre Ilic, the Film Events Manager at Columbia Film.

This festival is funded by a generous gift from alumnus Gordon Kit (Columbia College ’76), in honor of his parents.
