'Nightshift' (1981) by Robina Rose will be screening on Tuesday 18 August and Wednesday 26 August 2026 at BFI Southbank.

Punk icon Jordan stars as a night receptionist at the legendary Portobello Hotel, where eclectic guests, portrayed by figures of London counterculture, come and go throughout the night. Eerie and dreamlike, Rose’s film reflects upon the monotony of work and the transient nature of the hotel. She atmospherically captures London’s underground scene in the early 1980s, aided by Jon Jost’s cinematography and a score by Simon Jeffes of Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

'Nightshift' has been digitally restored by Lightbox Film Center (Philadelphia) in collaboration with the British Film Institute and Cinenova. The restoration funding was provided by Ron and Suzanne Naples.

For more information about the screening on Tuesday 18 August, visit BFI's website.

The screening of Nightshift on Wednesday 26 August will be introduced by writer and film programmer Sophia Satchell-Baeza, and will be followed by a Q&A with artist filmmaker and co-writer of the film's script Nicola Lane. Book tickets here.
