Post-war noir in glorious 4K 🎬

📸: The Third Man

📅 Saturday, December 7th
📍 Grand Illusion Cinema: 1403 NE 50th St, Seattle
💰 Special Fundraising Event: $25

75th-anniversary 4K restoration of Carol Reed’s masterpiece hits the screen for a special fundraising event. This was Roger Ebert’s favorite film—and for good reason. The Joseph Cotton/Orson Welles noir makes perfect use of post-war Vienna, photographing a truly liminal space with gusto. Every cent of these higher-priced tickets goes directly to the theater’s relocation costs.
