Night of Noir: A Kubrick Halloween

In the 1940s and ’50s, Hollywood crime thrillers went noir. Gritty yet glamorous, these stylish black and white films captured an uneasy world of femmes fatale, streetwise gumshoes, and murky morality. An elusive genre, its perhaps unsurprising that Stanley Kubrick, director of such classic films as Dr. Strangelove and 2001: A Space Odyssey, launched his career in film noir. Inspired by our exhibition Through a Different Lens: Stanley Kubrick Photographs, the hard-boiled zeitgeist of the 1940s springs to life this Halloween in a Kubrick-inspired party complete with music and dancing, film trivia, signature cocktails, and a guided gallery tour exploring New York’s menacing side.

Halloween, film noir, or Kubrick-inspired costumes encouraged! Prizes will be awarded to the best dressed.
