#105 - The Art of Shadows {short} [documentary] (2017)

"Film Noir is an intriguing genre, and its influence is ingrained into the essence of so many films nowadays that it's almost criminal how we often forget about its origins. This informative short documentary on how film Noir came to be sheds light on numerous elements of what drove the people behind the films to make them and focuses on the history of this wonderful style. 

Switching between emphasis on lighting and plot, it's a great 50/50 slice on the cinematic techniques of lightning in black and white, as well as the birth of crime and gritty emotion within cinema at a popular level"

No rating as this is more a small wedge of information and would be almost impossible to give an arbitrary 'rating' to, instead I will simply recommend it - search it on yt to watch, it's only ten minutes.
