New RestorationOver the course of a single nightshift, a West London hotel clerk plays mute 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 march 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 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 and a bold, instantly engrossing artistic statement from director Robina Rose. A masterwork of surreal, somnambulant cinema, the film casts a resonant spell audiences won’t soon forget.
Free for members (Includes UWM students) and $5 admission for all others. You can inquire about a membership at the Union Cinema.
