GO TOGETHER, 9@Night Film#9

The sinking fortunes of an Oakland art cinema mirrors a shaky marriage. Michelle wants to program high minded films while her co-owner husband prefers "vintage porn" promoted by St. Tre, owner of a strip club and escort service. St. Tre's boy friend Ben Malafide, a recent inmate, begins to think life in prison is preferable to the "freedoms" of polite society. Bills pile up, homeless people begin to camp outside the theatre and, oddest of all, the theatre itself begins to speak.

• Winner: San Francisco Film Critic's Circle Marlon Riggs Award for courage and innovation in the cinema, 2008.

“If pressed, many cinephiles would admit a magnetic attraction to truly magnum opuses: whether crafted by Tarr, Rohmer, Rivette or Syberberg, the mere existence of such titanic features or multi-film cycles suggests an important artistic event. There’s nothing quite like the exhilaration of discovering a huge project that in cinematic terms reaches for the extra-wide narrative/cinematic embrace of THE BROTHER’S KARAMAZOV, Proust, even INFINITE JEST. But does anyone work with that kind of scope in contemporary American cinema? Meet Rob Nilsson, who with very little self-promotional zeal has spend the last dozen- plus years creating a fascinating collection of exquisitely shot digital features under the umbrella of 9 @ Night… a sprawling black and white tapestry of separate but overlapping feature narratives that encompass a broad character scroll of homeless, hustling and bourgeois types in San Francisco and environs.” – Dennis Harvey, Film Comment, Sept./Oct. Issue, 2008
