The Film Noir Foundation

The Film Noir Foundation is a non-profit public benefit corporation based in Alameda, California. As a small organization with three employees, the Foundation focuses on preserving and showcasing classic film noir films. The Film Noir Foundation's primary mission is to locate and restore films from the film noir movement that are at risk of being lost. They work with film companies and repertory cinemas to ensure these classic films are screened in 35mm format, thus increasing the likelihood of studios striking new prints and making them available on DVD. The Foundation differentiates itself through its commitment to preserving lesser-known titles that have fallen through the cracks but deserve rediscovery. They actively seek out and restore these films, making them accessible to a wider audience and ensuring their legacy for future generations.
