Behind the Scenes of 'A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night' - Part 1

In preparation for the theatrical release of A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, the brooding vampire noir film that recently blew everyone away at Sundance, we talked with director Ana Lily Amirpour and Elijah Wood, who co-produced the film.

Ana Lily Amirpour's directorial debut, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, is a brooding, minimalist vampire flick set in Iran. The film's female vampire stalks the streets in a hijab and rides a skateboard, crossing paths with junkies, prostitutes, and other creatures of the night. The movie feels like a Middle Eastern take on the spaghetti western, with a gloomy, lady Nosferatu filling in for Clint Eastwood.

The film premiered at Sundance a few weeks ago to glowing praise from the ​New York Times​Hollywood Reporter​New Yorker, and more. It deserves every accolade thrown at it, and VICE Films is happy to help distribute it worldwide.

We sat down with Amirpour and some of the other people who helped make A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night possible.

The film is now screening worldwide—buy tickets ​here.
