'Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma' SXSW London SXSW London has added two buzzy premieres to its Screen Festival slate: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma and The Invite.
Jane Schoenbrun‘s I Saw the TV Glow follow-up, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, is set to close the event.
The full program for the June 1-6 event has now been released, headlined by opener Virginia Woolf’s Night and Day and finishing with Schoenbrun’s slasher film, starring Gillian Anderson and Hannah Einbinder.
“Jane Schoenbrun has been building one of the most fascinating bodies of work in cinema today,” said Anna Bogutskaya, head of the Screen Festival. “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma builds on every touchpoint of Schoenbrun’s work, exploring horror, fandom, memory, and identity, and pushes it further. Every scene between […] Einbinder and […] Anderson was so charged, I was afraid the screen might catch fire.”
