Janoiry 2022
by mykolayeriomin | created - 5 months ago | updated - 5 months ago | PublicMuch like Norivember was created by Marya E. Gates we have to thank British illustrator Aamir Zaheer for a similar January initiative.
In 2022 it just so happened that I decided to watch more film noir regardless of missing Noirvember and kinda want to stick with it. As this was more of lax, improvised affair, I'm keeping noirs I've been watching after January while the same mood lasted.
I might actually keep the tradition of 'Janoiry' lasting until March 31st.
