Nitrate film creates luminous images but is flammable and was discontinued in the 1950s. The Rigler Theatre at the Egyptian is one of only four venues in the country certified to show nitrate film; join us for a weekend showcase of the rare format including Hitchcock's REBECCA, Powell & Pressburger's GONE TO EARTH and film noir favorites NIGHTMARE ALLEYand LAURA.
Co-presented by the George Eastman Museum in collaboration with The Library of Congress, The Academy Film Archive and the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Screenings introduced by Christopher Nolan, Alexander Payne and the George Eastman Museum's Jared Case!
