Don’t miss the Q&A…

After you register for this screening, be sure to register for the follow-up event, Members-Only Q&A: The Night, featuring a conversation with writer/director Kourosh Ahari. (Friday, January 29 – 12:00pm PT)

Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to watch The Night in our Film Independent Presents Online Screening Room, powered by Vision Media.

After a night out with friends, an exhausted married couple, Babak (Shahab Hosseini) and Neda (Niousha Noor), and their baby take shelter in the grand but eerie Hotel Normandie. Throughout a seemingly endless night, mysterious disturbances ruin their night’s rest as Babak and Neda soon realize they’re locked-in with a malevolent force that hungers for the dark secrets they’ve kept from one another.

With The Night, director Kourosh Ahari made history for being the first U.S.-produced film to receive a license for theatrical release in Iran since the revolution. The psychological thriller follows in the footsteps of The Shining, luring viewers into a hotel that is both ominous and inviting, where the ghosts of the past still linger around each corner. The terrors that lurk in the corridors are more real and terrifying than any movie monster in a mask. The Night will make you never want to spend a night away from home again.
