Overview

A playlist of Film Noir in devotion to Her.

B movies, shorts, and newsreels played on a loop, cinema was once a place to move in and out of with fluidity. You might enter a film halfway through, or you might stay all day in the dark seeing the same recurring images.

I've selected a playlist of noir that features Rita, Gene, Veronica, Barbara, and Gloria. The image of Her is within our collective cultural consciousness, imprinted, multiplied, and distorted ever since She was born. From 2pm until midnight we’ll play Her films, with things in between. Stay for some of it, stay for all of them.
