Part of the series: Rob Nilsson's 9 @ Night
Cinema of the Forgotten
Friday, September 5 to Thursday, September 11

For the first time on the West Coast, Bay Area filmmaker Rob Nilsson presents the complete 9 @ Night, a series of nine feature films he produced over the last decade in collaboration with the Tenderloin yGroup, an inner-city acting and production workshop Nilsson developed in the San Francisco Tenderloin. With a "Direct Action" aesthetic influenced by the pioneering work of John Cassavetes, and a structure inspired by Krzysztof Kieslowski's Decalogue, the nine black-and-white films have individual and independent stories, but they share recurring characters and interrelated themes.
