BAFTA present THE AWAKENING
Directed by Nick Murphy (UK) 2011 - 9pm
London, 1921, as the country turns to seances and spiritualism for solace from the war. Academic and writer Florence Cathcart (Rebecca Hall) is determined to prove that ghosts are not haunting a school. But once she starts investigating, she begins to uncover more secrets than she bargained for. Murphy's debut feature is a startlingly effective classic ghost story.
