Starring
Geena Davis, Harrison Gilbertson, Joel Tobeck

This brash and moving comedy about family, fate and misfortune in American suburbia, stars Geena Davis as the razor-tongued Gloria Conway. The manicured lawns of 1980s New England imply an order that simply doesn't exist for the Conway family.

Youngest son Billy (Harrison Gilbertson) has been a witness to a series of tragic accidents, including one that fractured his whole family. Always the good boy, Billy takes up with the neighbourhood troublemaker in acts of delicious delinquency in a world already spinning out of control. The ensuing collision of guilt, truth and self-discovery may be just what his family needs to move on.

The debut feature from Australian writer/director Andrew Lancaster, Accidents Happen was runner-up in the Audience Award at the 2009 Sydney Film Festival and was included in the Official Selection of the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival.
