# The Shooting Party (1985)

1985 · 96 min · Drama · Australia, United Kingdom


## Synopsis

The Shooting Party is a 1984 British drama film directed by Alan Bridges and based on the book of the same name by Isabel Colegate. The film is set in 1913, less than a year before the beginning of the First World War, and shows a vanishing way of life among English aristocrats, focusing on a shooting party gathered for pheasant shooting. Their situation is contrasted with the life of the local rural poor, who work on the estate and during the shoot serve as beaters, driving the game. It was entered into the 14th Moscow International Film Festival.
