This event is part of the Silver Cinema Project, organized by Scarecrow Video, which promotes the appreciation of classic Hollywood films through screenings and discussions. _Sunset Boulevard_, directed by Billy Wilder, is a seminal film noir that tells the story of Norma Desmond, a once-famous silent film star, portrayed by Gloria Swanson.

It was inducted into the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, affirming its place in American cinema.
