The Film Noir Foundation is a non-profit public benefit corporation created as an educational resource regarding the cultural, historical, and artistic significance of film noir as an international cinematic movement. It is the mission of the FNF to find and preserve films in danger of being lost or irreparably damaged, and to ensure that high-quality prints of these classic films remain in circulation for theatrical exhibition to future generations. Once these films are unearthed, restored and returned to circulation, the chances increase that the films will be made available on Blu-ray and/or for online streaming for future generations of film lovers to appreciate.
