- DirectorSu FriedrichStarsPeggy HealeyMakea MacDonaldEla Troyano"Damned If You Don't is a real prize. Beautifully shot in black and white, it blends conventional narrative technique with impressionistic camerawork, symbols and voicovers to create an intimate study of sexual expression and repression. It begins with footage from a stylish old potboiler about an isolated convent, whose tale of passions leashed and unleashed provides the leitmotif for a young lesbian who watches it and the lonely nun she pursues and seduces. As the two women's lives come closer to joining, voiceovers from the biography of a 16th century lesbian nun and the reminiscences of a woman's closeted romances at a Catholic school flesh out the theme. When the two women finally meet and make love, the woman's careful unwrapping of the nun's complicated prison of clothing is both foreplay and liberating metaphor. The film is as hypnotic as a dream."Low Quality

- DirectorAnnie GriffinStarsVicki PepperdineBen MillerJoanna ScanlanComing Soon is the story of an existentialist-style experimental theatre troupe that travels from London to Scotland trying to organize the troupe for rehearsals to make it to opening night. Insightfully observed and brilliantly written. Throughout there is a wonderfully real balance of comedy of errors and the pathos of each person's part in the experimental troupe. We can relate to each character brought out through the comedy of their day to day struggle for survival. Fiona, the dippy ex-dancer come Arts Council assistant (Mabel Aitken) and Omid Djalili as the taxi driver stand out in a very talented cast. It's a production which is lively and memorable.

- DirectorPaul WheelerStarsBrendon BurnsShould you really bother giving a homeless guy five pence? When some handy advice would probably be more useful yet equally resented? Does all cultural identity fundamentally suck? Is it sexist to hate women? Have you spotted the inherent Socratic irony in any of these questions, laughed then secretly given the question more credence than it deserves?, I would say "then this is the show for you" but that would imply that there may be answers or moralistic respite. There isn't, but it is very funny. If you like a little controversy with your comedy, then Brendon Burns is your man. His electric stage presence and provocative material have taken audiences by storm and his recent triumphant run at the Edinburgh Festival led to him receiving the UK's highest comedy accolade; The If.Comedy Award. The critics unanimously agree, this is one of the U.K.'s most brilliant comedians. DVD extras include interviews with Brendon's cast and commentary from the DVDs director.
