Persistence of Vision: Animated Masterworks is the Roxy’s monthly celebration of classic and contemporary animation masterpieces, made by legendary artists for an adult audience.

From the visionary mind of director Masaaki Yuasa (Mind Game, Inu-Oh) comes The 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.
