The Complete 2003 Festival Schedule
Festival favorite Thom Fitzgerald (THE HANGING GARDEN, BEEFCAKE) returns with a masterful portrait of love, loss, and the right to die. In Manhattan, a district attorney prosecutor (Parker Posey) is looking into the circumstances surrounding the death of Matt (Don McKellar), a man who had been struggling with AIDS. The events which occurred at a party hosted by Matt on the night of his death unfold through interviews and flashbacks, and the young investigator is forced to grapple with the moral and legal ambiguities which arise when a man chooses to end his life on his own terms. A celebration of life as well as a rumination on death, THE EVENT features finely crafted performances from an outstanding ensemble cast including Brent Carver, Sarah Polley, and the marvelous Olympia Dukakis as Matt’s mother.
