The Tenerife Noir Atlantic Crime Film Festival celebrates its eighth edition from March 9th to 26th. This year's cultural program focuses on the crime genre.
The role of the State as a criminal figure will be highlighted. Still reeling from the sudden loss of Gran Canarian writer Alexis Ravelo, Tenerife Noir will pay tribute to his work and life in various activities throughout 2023, including the seventh edition of the Tenerife Noir International Seminar on Research in the Crime Genre.

Through a photocomposition of gloomy tones, this year's poster synthesizes in the mechanical gesture of an observer the surveillance they exert over the lives of citizens.
Those who collect data on their every move from a shadowy back room, a Big Brother as intuitive as it is menacing. The festival's graphic design is back for another year.
