Premiere! ANGEL AT SEA, 2009, Insomnia, 86 min. Dir. Frederic Dumont. Bruno, an overworked bureaucrat based at a lighthouse in southern Morocco, is severely depressed.

Shot with exquisite attention to the nuances of childhood confusion, director Frederic Dumont's lovely debut was dubbed by Variety "gorgeously lensed... strongly acted... first-rate." In French with English subtitles. Discussion following with director Frederic Dumont. Belgian beer reception to follow.
