After years of slapdash sequels, the Camp Miasma franchise is handed over to an enthusiastic young director (Hannah Einbinder) for resurrection. But when she visits the original’s star (Gillian Anderson), a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium. Writer-director Jane Schoenbrun (I Saw the TV Glow) continues to be one of the most stylish and adventurous independent filmmakers working today with this dreamy, wonderfully weird ode to old-school slasher films, told with a distinctly queer sensibility, arriving in Provincetown fresh from its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Einbinder and Anderson share an offbeat chemistry as a devoted film nerd and her sultry, eccentric muse.
Jane Schoenbrun and Hannah Einbinder are scheduled to attend on June 11.
