Cinema History: Film Noir at the Bernards Township Library

Cinema History: Film Noir – The Stuff that Dreams Are Made Of, will be offered at the Bernards Township Library on Tuesday, July 5 from 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Chris Messineo, award-winning writer, director, and head of the NJ Film School, covers the great film noir movies of Hollywood's Golden Age. At the height of the studio system, a new breed of crime drama began to emerge. These dark tales with an equally stark look told the stories of men and women living in the shadows and the underbelly of society. Classic stories like The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity, The Killers, and Night and the City, changed filmmaking forever with characters who risked everything for "the stuff that dreams are made of." Register at www.BernardsLibrary.org or call (908) 204-3031, ext. 116. The Library is located at 32 South Maple Avenue in Basking Ridge.
