• Crisis Of Faith In Fairyland ~ Guarding The Border Between This World And The Next
  Introduction: `Photographing Fairies' is an obscure British film from '98 that to my knowledge was never released to American theaters. It was available in limited quantities on VHS but has yet to appear on a REGION 1 DVD.
  This probably shouldn't be too surprising when you look at the subject matter of the film. Unlike the Emerald Isles who have an ancient and ongoing oral and written tradition concerning the "wee folk", American audiences are vastly untutored in the topic of the intangible realm of... more info

• The clash between alternate and consensus worldviews.
  "Photographing Fairies" is a haunting, sad, and sometimes terrifying story about society's oppression of alternate belief systems.

• My favorite Toby Stephens movie (sorry, Rochester!)
  I love and adore this movie. It needs badly to be put on DVD (I found an expensive bootleg that I can't afford so I have the VHS instead). I loved everything about it - the sets, the costumes, the acting. I would not change a thing. If there is a way to lobby for it to be put into DVD format, I would be the first in line to do so.

  This little film will spark many discussions about the afterlife and meaning of eternal love. It can be a hard find, but worth the search. I'm hoping someone sees fit to rerelease this little gem in DVD with the proper advertising and use of the growing Toby Stephens fan base. A wonderful film I should never have found had it not been for my interest in this actor's work. Look for it, you will not be diappointed!
