NORTH SEA TEXAS (NOORDZEE, TEXAS), 2011, 96 min. Dir. Bavo Defurne. Introverted Pim is on the verge of adolescence, and spends his spare time drawing pictures and daydreaming of Gino, the motorcycling older boy next door. Pim's mother, Yvette, is similarly restless, tired of their Belgian coastal village, and imagines escaping the tedium of suitors and small-town life. With the arrival of Zoltan, a handsome outsider who rents a room in their house, Yvette and Pim find their dreams colliding with an immediacy neither could have predicted. Winner of the Silver Zenith Award and the Fipresci International Press Award at the 2011 Montreal World Film Festival. In Dutch with English subtitles. [35mm] Belgian beer reception to follow the screening.
