We are darn fortunate and lucky ducks to have not one but TWO film noir fests in the San Francisco Bay Area. There's Eddie Muller's epic two week Noir City festival, running at the end of January and beginning of February, and I Wake Up Dreaming, a 12-film program curated by Elliot Lavine, which runs Thursdays from August 6 to September 3 at San Francisco's Castro Theatre.
