Noir City. Video Q&A.

Noir City: Los Angeles vs New York: The 8th Annual Festival of Film Noir barrels on at the Egyptian and Aero theaters in Los Angeles through May 2. Now at the main site, Cabinetic presents an onstage Q&A with Marsha Hunt (Raw Deal, Kid Glove Killer) conducted by Eddie Muller during the San Francisco edition of Noir City in January.

For the Los Angeles Times, Susan King talks with Muller, who tells her "that one of the differences between New York and LA noir is that in the former, 'the characters want to escape the big city, the teeming metropolis. In LA, you get to the Promised Land and you realize there's no escape. I find the most effective LA noirs are always set in places where there is an horizon, which you don't see in New York noir.'"
