Jane Schoenbrun<\/a>\u2018s \u201cTeenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma<\/a>\u201d is the rare film<\/a> that can capture the respect and attention of the most discerning festival audiences while also being an anticipated summer release. The film, which stars Hannah Einbinder as a filmmaker tasked with revamping a tired summer camp horror franchise with its cryptic lead played by Gillian Anderson in tow, is set to make its way to theaters this August<\/a>. But lucky cinephiles in select cities won\u2019t have to wait that long. <\/p>\n

IndieWire can exclusively announce that the film will embark on a \u201cCamp Is in Session\u201d tour throughout June and July, screening at film festivals and special venues that fit its summer camp theme. Notable stops include NewFest, the Provincetown Film Festival, and Fantasia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An official synopsis for the film reads: \u201cAfter 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\u2019s star, a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium.\u201d<\/p>\n

After its Cannes premiere, critics praised \u201cTeenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma\u201d for its expansion of the themes of gender dysphoria and transition that Schoenbrun explored in her first two features, \u201cWe\u2019re All Going to the World\u2019s Fair\u201d and \u201cI Saw the TV Glow.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWith Schoenbrun\u2019s slippery latest film, the sapphic slice of cinema \u2018Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma,\u2019 comes a statement about what happens after gender dysphoria\u2019s annihilation \u2014 a reflection on the sexual unease experienced once you\u2019ve finally fit into your body but perhaps don\u2019t know what to do with it,\u201d IndieWire\u2019s Ryan Lattanzio wrote in his Cannes review<\/a>. \u201cThe ways in which we\u2019ve gotten so far in our own heads that sex is now more concept than carnal, surrendering act sets the stage for an erotic explosion in this cerebral, pop-colored tale.\u201d<\/p>\n
