Go Together - 9 @ Night

Rob Nilsson’s 9 @ Night Series
Sunday, September 7, 6:45
Thursday, September 11, 9:00
The culmination of the series takes self-referential and expressionistic curves, as a couple (Denny Dey and Michelle Anton Allen) struggle with the survival of both their marriage and the failing Oakland art cinema they own... ironically showing the 9 @ Night movies. Homeless gather in the alleys, and the theater itself wants to speak to them. (US 2007) 100 min.

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.
