September and October 2020 in Films
September was a terrible month. I spent much of the month with my family up in the northern California because my grandfather died. Needless to say, not a lot of new-to-me movie watching happened that month. Hence why there was no post. I decided to combine the two months into one post. October included a virtual version of the Pordenone Silent Film Festival, so like most years there is an uptick in silent film, but not as much as past years. As always, you can see everything I watched and a breakdown by year after the cut.

So that was the last few months. We are now into my favorite time of the year: NOIRVEMBER. I cannot even believe this is the 11th years of Noirvember! I love to watch new people discover noir and/or new favorites within the genre. I love this community and I love to see excitement about discovery and shared passion.
