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.

On the Sea
Jack has been married to Maggie for over half his life. He works as a hand raker on the mussel beds in North Wales with his younger brother, Dyfan, and Dyfan’s three sons. Jack has always assumed that his own boy, Tom, will join the family business on leaving school, but Tom’s resistance to follow in his footsteps causes familial tension. Tensions are further inflamed by the arrival of an itinerant deckhand, Daniel, who makes known his feelings for Jack. In this remote, rural community where life revolves around church and fishery, Jack is faced with an impossible dilemma. ON THE SEA is a beautiful, sensual, and at times tragic exploration of masculinity, place, and desire.
