    I Don’t Want to Sleep Alone presented by: Peter Lorge, Senior Lecturer, History Department and East Asian Studies Program (2007) Malaysia. Director: Tsai Ming-Liang. Not rated. Homeless, Hsiao Kang is robbed, beaten and left for dead. He is found and nursed by Rawang, an immigrant worker who develops strong feelings for his patient, feelings that are reflected in the eyes of Chyi, a waitress in a run-down coffee shop. And so a triangle forms as a blanket of noxious fog settles over the city. In Taiwanese, Malay, Mandarin and Bengali with English subtitles. 118 minutes. Financial support provided by Mimi and Scott Manzler.

    International Lens, a film series with a global perspective, uses film screenings as a forum to promote conversation among Vanderbilt’s diverse community of students, faculty and staff. International Lens strives to transcend geographic, ethnic, religious, linguistic and political boundaries by facilitating conversation and greater cross-cultural understanding through cinema. The series is a partnership between the Office of the Dean of Students and academic departments, centers and programs.
