Aroview: Winner of both the Filmmaker's Trophy and the Special Jury prize at Sundance, this little seen film was one of genuine highlights of the 1997 NZ Film Festival. Lili Taylor and her two supporting players contributed strongly to the script, bringing a vital authenticity to the story of how a trio of school friends deal with a peer's suicide. It's sisters do it for themselves with style and integrity, but don't let that put you brothers off, the film hardly contains a false note.
