Ray Carney, film critic and author of books on John Cassavetes, Carl Dreyer and Mike Leigh calls this a “Masterwork” a nine feature film epic Cannes and Sundance winner Nilsson directed over the last decade in collaboration with the Tenderloin yGroup, an inner-city acting and production workshop he created 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.
“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
“He is an innovative master who is in the prime of his career- spinning stories with the ease of a grand jazz master such as John Coltrane or Miles Davis.”
- Mark Fishkin, Executive Director, Mill Valley Film Festival
