‘Sleep Furiously ‘ is a 90-minute documentary art film by Welsh director Gideon Koppel set in Trefeurig, Mid Wales where he grew up. Gideon won the coveted ‘Guardian First Film Award’ for the film. It received glowing reviews in the UK and will be of particular interest to Welsh-Americans and art cinema lovers alike.
‘Director Gideon Koppel transforms the ordinary into the sublime in this documentary that describes the current issues facing the Wales farming community. As the population ages, the schools face closure, and the mobile library signals a resistance to move into the 21st Century, Koppel's camera stands as a silent observer and the music of Aphex Twin washes over the viewer.’ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
