Join North Beach Noir, presented by a group of cinephiles passionate about sharing films that are deeply connected to North Beach, San Francisco, and the city’s rich filmmaking history. Our focus is on films relevant to North Beach, as well as showcasing works from local San Francisco filmmakers. Every third Wednesday from January through May, Professor Seagull's Smartshop hosts free film screenings at its event space, Live Worms Gallery. May's film will be Maltese Falcon (1941), directed by John Huston.
