About Film Noir au Canal

Since 2015, Film Noir au Canal has presented cult crime films for free on the banks of the Lachine Canal. Amidst silos and industrial buildings, this couldn’t be a more fitting outdoor setting to watch film noir masterpieces, including some contemporary examples of the genre. To keep the suspense going, the movies from the Film Noir au Canal lineup will be unveiled every week throughout the summer.



Film Noir au Canal is presented thanks to the financial support of W. Maxwell Agendas, Arrondissement le Sud-Ouest and the Caisse Desjardins du Sud-Ouest de Montréal.
