Writer - director John Young's powerful drama Rivers Wash Over Me continues our afternoon of films about the young gay experience. Please join us for a film that is heartwrenching and true to life. Director John G. Young will be in attendance and the screening will be followed by a panel discussion on LGBT youth issues co-presented by the Boston Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender Youth (BAGLY).

Forced to relocate from Brooklyn to rural Alabama, sensitive gay teen Sequan faces harassment and abuse both at school and at home. Hope arrives in the form of Lori, a perceptive but troubled girl who introduces Sequan to her gay brother. As the new friends plan an escape from their small-town existence, a brush with violence threatens to derail everything. Rivers Wash Over Me is a beautifully lensed and emotionally affecting drama with devastating performances.

Ellen Seidler and Megan Silar

Inspired by Tom Tykwer’s film Run Lola Run, And Then Came Lola tells the story of talented photographer Lola. With her love life and her career on the line Lola has three chances to get it right. In a desperate race through the streets and back rooms of San Francisco, time grows short-will Lola make it? Will she come at all? With a pop sensibility that mixes live action, animation and still photography, And Then Came Lola explores love's age old question in a fresh new way, “If you try, try again, will you finally get it right?” (Description courtesy of the directors.)
