The sun can't seem to shine in this eerie thriller that suffuses the otherwise sun-baked Australian Outback with a sickly pallid light. Aging spinster, Hester, brings home the spirited Katherine to assist with the chores of her decrepit ranch home. In contrast to the burdens of her ailing father, Katherine's youthfulness offers Hester a ray of golden sunshine in her dismal gloom, and their developing relationship helps her overcome her frustrations and giddily inspires her beyond the everyday. When the old man dies, Hester supplements the inheritance with the sale of the old ranch house, and the two women find an ideal fantasy world in a new cottage home. Then one night everything changes — Katherine runs over a man out on their deserted road. Fantasy turns into feverish nightmare, as distrust, paranoia, and horror begin to run rampant. Samantha Lang, working from a script by Jane Campion collaborator, Laura Jones (ANGEL AT MY TABLE, PORTRAIT OF A LADY), has created an uncomfortable thriller in her feature debut. Creepily photographed in a constricted palette of blues and greens, THE WELL is as paranoid and suffocating as any of Polanski 's better films.

Manchester's gay village, unfrocked and loving it.

Among the old cotton mills of Manchester, there has sprung a new "gay village", an alternative place to call home for thousands of British lesbians and gay men. Village Voices chronicles the development of this vibrant urban community, which has spawned numerous clubs, restaurants and shops as well as a community center offering much-needed services to a growing gay population. But this is more than just a gay chamber of commerce travelogue: Village Voices also takes a critical look at the insular effect of creating a neighborhood that caters exclusively to one segment of a city's inhabitants.

Documentary about the members of BAGLY, the Boston Alliance of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender youth. Young filmmakers Liz Reich and Rachel Victor are as fresh and spunky as the youth they profile in Very Queer Kids, their one-hour documentary about the Boston Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Youth (BAGLY). Founded in 1978, BAGLY is one of the oldest queer/questioning youth organizations in the country. It plays a vital role in the lives of its participants as they tackle many of the same issues that older lesbians and gays face – love and loss, dating and career choices, ways of being closeted or out, the need for community – as well issues more typical to their age group, such as peer pressure, adolescent insecurities, and homophobia in their high schools or their parents' homes. Very Queer Kids features over 20 outspoken, articulate youths determined to represent themselves to the world in a queer-positive manner.
