A woman, unable to sleep, describes a comforting presence she encountered as a child.
Lonely dudes in liminal spaces. Three guys working the graveyard shift around a deserted urban college campus try to make it through a long and lonely night on the job.
This contemplative narrative follows three night watchmen at an urban college
campus, immersing viewers in their solitary world. Through lingering shots, it
captures the quiet isolation of graveyard shifts, empty spaces, and mundane
routines. The film meditates on loneliness and the surreal atmosphere that descends
on familiar places after dark.
— Charlie Sanders, Festival Programming Director, Sidewalk Film Festival
Influenced by the work of Tsai Ming-liang both in form and subject matter (a slow
cinema depiction of urban loneliness), Weeknights distinguishes itself through its sharp sense of place and by how it captures the distinct rhythms of its environment.
The film’s overall melancholy resonates, but in its own way, it acts as a tribute to its (and my) Bronx neighborhood.
