It's a Party! is a Canadian comedy-dramashort film, directed byPeg Campbell and released in 1986.[1] Set in the apartment of a woman who is having a party, the film uses a stationary camera facing her hallway and living room, with actors moving in and out of the frame as the party's events evolve and change, while the film's dialogue was improvised by the filmmakers and actors based on strange or odd things they had personally heard at parties.[2]
The film was aGenie Award nominee forBest Live Action Short Drama at the8th Genie Awards.[3]
Campbell and cowriterPeggy Thompson followed up in 1989 withIn Search of the Last Good Man, which reversed the formula by using a rapidly moving camera to film a story with limited in-film movement.[4]
