The Anniversary Party

Joe and Sally, a couple in show business and with a problematic past, throw a party to celebrate their sixth anniversary. Tension arises when the invited guests are brought together, and suddenly disaster lurks around the corner.

Cumming and Leigh wrote this film for their acting friends, including Kevin Kline and Gwyneth Paltrow. They shot it during 19 days with a digital video camera. The result is a non-sentimental and grown-up story that takes place in a house during 24 hours. It asks questions about believing in yourself, about becoming an ''adult'', and what it all means. How long is love worth fighting for? And how far are you prepared to go?
