Night is Short is a whirlwind of epic proportions, and it is one worth getting swept up in.” – Jordan Collier, Cinematary

From the visionary mind of director Masaaki Yuasa (Mind Game, Ride Your Wave) comes Night is Short, Walk On Girl, a comedy about one epic night in Kyoto. 

As a group of teens go out for a night on the town, a sophomore known only as “The Girl with Black Hair” experiences a series of surreal encounters with the local nightlife… all the while unaware of the romantic longings of Senpai, a fellow student who has been creating increasingly fantastic and contrived reasons to run into her, in an effort to win her heart. 

Screening in Japanese with English subtitles.

Masaaki Yuasa, Japan, 2017, 93 minutes, DCP
