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.
