A History of Film Noir – Film and Lecture Series
Sundays: 1 March – 14 June 2015
Aggregate Space Gallery is pleased to announce our third film and lecture series curated by Conrad Meyers.
Each Sunday for 16 weeks we will be screening a film that is significant in the intersection cinema, popular culture, and the ever elusive and transgeneric category of Film Noir.
Each film has been curated in chronological order and is paired with a 2nd thematically linked film. Between each evening’s screenings there will be a brief lecture and discussion on the historical, cultural and artistic significance of the two films and their relationship to the whole of the series.

Aggregate Space is a warehouse space and has a similar temperature to the outside; please prepare accordingly.
Doors open at 3:30 PM, screenings begin promptly at 4 PM.
