“43 Degrees North” - with post-screening talkback (NR; 2 hours, 30 minutes) - The stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, and… aliens? When a world-renowned author inherits his recently deceased wife’s cottage on an island in Maine, all Raphael wants to do is sell it and move on. But strange things start happening, and for Raphael to accept his future as a widower, he may first need to accept that he’s not as alone as he believes. “43 Degrees North” was shot entirely in Maine with local actors, including Derek Kingsley in the role of Raphael; you may have seen Derek in the Lincoln Theater stage production of “Beauty and the Beast” (as Lumière).
