An idiosyncratic and cinematically innovative essay exploring filmmaker Alan Berliner’s lifelong obsession with insomnia, Wide Awake ultimately reveals -- in ways both hilarious and deeply personal -- how sleeplessness has profoundly impacted the delicate relationship between his creative life and family responsibility.  “Berliner… has the gift of addressing intimate subjects and making them universal.” wrote Variety, “Nowhere has he done this better than with “Wide Awake.” The film had its world premiere at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, and its international premiere at the 2006 Berlin Film Festival.

On Sunday, November 8th at 1PM also join us for a free video salon, Personal and Public, with Alan as he discusses his filmmaking experience and shows clips from his works.
