THE SHADOW OF THE SUN

FILMMAKER MIGUEL ANGEL FERRER ON THE SHADOW OF THE SUN

On tonight’s show, we’ll be joined by Venezuelan-American filmmaker Miguel Angel Ferrer to discuss his film The Shadow of the Sun (La Sombra del Sol), about Leo, a blue collar worker with a musical past, now living in the remote inland city of Acariqua and haunted by financial debt and problems at home. He is encouraged by Alex, his younger brother, deaf since birth, to enter a musical contest in Caracas to perform a song Alex has written himself and be eligible for the substantial first prize.   Shot in 18 days, Shadow of the Sun is Venezuela’s fourteen-award-winning entry for the 2026 Academy Awards.

  

Hosted and Produced by Janet Coleman and David Dozer
