The Morris Museum, which is a short drive from East Hanover, hosts a number of special events throughout the year. One upcoming event is part of the Inside Cinema series, and concerns noir films. ‘Macao’ will be the film viewed and discussed in the upcoming event.
Macao was released in 1952 in black and white. The film follows main character Nick Cochran, who is an American exile living in Macao. He earns a chance to restore his good name in the United States, but only if he can help detain an international crime lord.
The Inside Cinema series allows participants a chance to learn more about noir films, which are known for being low-key and emphasising relationships between males and females. Before the film starts, there will be a talk led by David Landau, who is a professor at Fairleigh Dickenson University in the film program. Character types, time period, production values, and themes are some of the topics to be covered before the film begins.
The films are included with general admission, and begin at 10:00 am. Members get in for free; nonmembers pay $15 per ticket. This allows participants to enjoy the rest of the museum as well. Some of the current exhibitions include Community Helpers: Firefighters, Sound Garden, and Trumpets, Weird and Wonderful.
This type of event often benefits from banner printing, which allows them to attract new guests and instruct returning guests. This event is currently scheduled to take place on January 2, beginning at 7:30 pm.
