The party

Janet has just been appointed Minister and her friends organize a party to celebrate. The tone of the meeting will go sour and will flow into a black comedy that's fast-paced and irreverent. 

The Party and its director, Sally Potter, was awarded the Guild Film Prize at the Berlinale 2017. Actresses Patricia Clarkson and Kristin Scott Thomas also won British cinema awards for their roles in this movie. 

Actresses and actors in this movie all got paid equally and used this fact to promote equal pay for women in the movie industry.

Director Sally Potter has a background in choreography, music, performance art and experimental film. ORLANDO (1992), a bold adaptation of Virginia Woolf's classic novel was her first feature film after directing a series of short films and a TV mini-series.

This film has been chosen by the director Carla Subirana, who will introduce the screening with commenting on the film and the reason for her choices.
