Nightshift is more of an experience than a film. Basically unavailable to the public up until its recent 4K restoration, Nightshift is a short (roughly 70min) feature that wanders dreamlike through snapshots of the lives of a gaggle of hotel guests attended by the enigmatic desk attendant played by brit punk icon Jordan. At the risk of deploying another overused internet word, it's a liminal film.

This is One Night On Earth with less talking or Slackers with less walking. Devoid of any overarching plot, moved only by the ticking of the clock, and yet you find yourself pulled into its almost tidal movements without thinking. It's avant garde without any self congratulation, wholly devoted to the trancelike atmosphere.

The film itself was shot in five days in the hotel where Rose worked, using a little bit of art grant money and a contribution from Rose's mother's pension fund. Everyone worked for free, and the cast and crew is comprised of young artists and intellectuals from the London underground art scene. It's as scrappy as you can get, and it fully deserves its spot in the MoMA's collection.
