Not only a literature festival, Quais du Polar also brings to light cinema and TV series through twenty screenings in theatres of Lyon and the area. These screenings, introduced by authors and echoing topics celebrated during the festivaldraw a landscape of the noir and crime fiction genre on screen.

Like every year, Institut Lumière will put on crime fiction colors for a weekend of noir films chosen by authors of the festival.

Six authors will introduce their favorite films, among which Harlan Coben’s favorite Strangers on a train/L’Inconnu du Nord-Express by Alfred Hitchcock, which will launch the weekend.
