“NIGHTSHIFT is an extraordinary work of oneiric imagination, punkish sensibility, and a requiem to women’s labor in the hazy terrain of night work.” —MUBI

Sleepwalk through the night with a hotel desk clerk (U.K. counterculture icon Jordan) and a nocturnal constellation of guests ranging from punks to a scenester magician as the hours march deeper into night and the varied clientele departs the waking world, transforming the hotel into an otherworldly, liminal space swaying between the everyday and the enchanting. A somnambulist fantasy photographed by Jon Jost (ALL THE VERMEERS IN NEW YORK) with a soundtrack by Simon Jeffes of the legendary Penguin Cafe Orchestra. Newly restored.
