A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night screening

Director Ana Lily Amirpour has managed to breathe new life into the vampire genre with her debut feature, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. Set in the fictional Iranian ghost town Bad City—though it was filmed right here in California, with beautiful black-and-white cinematography—a lonely vampire girl stalks the immoral citizens, and possibly falls in love. The film opened to rave reviews, screened during summer's Sundance Next Fest and now takes over the Nuart for a week.
