The American Cinematheque is launching its new weekly interview podcast in April, hosted by Artistic Director Grant Moninger, with Edgar Wright and Mary Bronstein announced as the first guests.

For 28 years, the Noir City film festival has been unfolding every spring under the aegis of the American Cinematheque, give or take a couple of early name changes since it began in 1999.

American Cinematheque’s film festival, “Bleak Week: Cinema of Despair,” will return for its fifth edition in Los Angeles from June 1-7.
