Camp is in session this summer, as Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma will embark on a screening tour ahead of its August 7 theatrical release from Mubi.
Revealed by IndieWire, the preview screening schedule is as follows:
- Monday, June 1 – NewFest Pride – New York, NY
- Thursday June 11 – Provincetown Film Festival – Provincetown, MA
- Saturday, June 27 – Frameline – San Francisco, CA
- Friday, July 17 Fantasia Fest – Montreal, QC, Canada
- Saturday, July 18 – Camp Rocky Woods – Medfield, MA
- Saturday, July 25 – Pam Cut Tomorrow Theater – Portland, OR
Writer-director Jane Schoenbrun (I Saw the TV Glow) and star Hannah Einbinder (“Hacks”) will be in attendance for all but the Medfield screening; that one will be an outdoor double feature with Sleepaway Camp.
The sapphic meta horror film, which also stars Gillian Anderson (“The X-Files”), had its world premiere last night at the Cannes Film Festival to open the Un Certain Regard section. It was reportedly met with a nine-minute standing ovation.
In the film, after years of slapdash sequels and waning fandom, the Camp Miasma slasher franchise is handed over to an enthusiastic young director for resurrection. But when she visits the original movie’s star, a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium.
Amanda Fix (Lowlifes), Arthur Conti (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice), Eva Victor (Sorry Baby), Zach Cherry (“Severance”), Sarah Sherman (“Saturday Night Live”), Patrick Fischler (“Twin Peaks”), Dylan Baker (Trick ‘r Treat), Jasmin Savoy Brown (Scream), Kevin McDonald (“The Kids in the Hall”), Quintessa Swindell (Black Adam), and Jack Haven (I Saw the TV Glow) round out the cast.
Produced by Mubi and Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is rated R for “bloody violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use, and some language.”
