7th House Screenings and Women Under The Influence are proud to bring Robina Rose's long unseen marvel of early '80s avant garde cinema to The Philosophical Research Society for a screening of its new 4K restoration! Essentially unseeable for decades, NIGHTSHIFT (1981) is a thrilling rediscovery — a strikingly singular, dreamy work that demands to be experienced in the hushed dark of a theater, now possible thanks to Lightbox Film Center's beautiful restoration, brought to us by Arbelos Films. Over the course of a single nightshift, a West London hotel clerk (U.K. counterculture icon Jordan) plays silent witness to a nocturnal constellation of guests ranging from punk rockers and scenester magicians to seemingly staid businessmen and old-world gentry. As the hours drift deeper into night and the varied clientele depart the waking world, the hotel transforms into an otherworldly, liminal space swaying between the everyday and the enchanting. Gorgeously photographed by Jon Jost (All the Vermeers in New York) with a soundtrack by Simon Jeffes of the legendary Penguin Cafe Orchestra, NIGHTSHIFT is both a potent snapshot of London’s early-‘80s art scene (actor/poet Heathcote Williams and filmmaker Anne Rees- Mogg also star) and a bold, instantly engrossing artistic statement from late director Robina Rose (Rose sadly passed earlier this year). Be among the first to see the gorgeous restoration of this masterwork of surreal, somnambulant cinema on the big screen, a film that casts a resonant spell audiences won’t soon forget. Dir. Robina Rose, 1981, 67mins, United Kingdom, English, Unrated (Adult Audiences Only), Digital.Special thanks to David Marriott and Ei Toshinari from Arbelos Films.
