Darkness by Day
(Friday May 22, 9:45pm)

In Darkness by Day, Virginia finds herself eerily drawn to her cousin Julia who requires her care after coming down with a mysterious illness. Dark and brooding, this film is a great addition to queer lady horror. No exploitation or internal homophobia to be found.

(Tuesday May 26, 8pm)

Blood and Water tells the story of Flo, a carefree student who has always lived for the moment, especially when it comes to women, but has her world turned on its head when she falls for one of her professors.

(Saturday May 30, 12:30pm)

A perfectly executed mix of documentary and narrative In the Hollow tells the true story of the murder of Rebecca Wight and shooting of her girlfriend Claudia Brenner on the Appalachian Trail in May of 1988. If you are anything like me, you will cry. A lot. Sad but beautiful and important, this one is an absolute must-see.
