Guests: Jane Schoenbrun, Hannah Einbinder, Alice Maio Mackay, Louise Weard
Moderator : Avalon Fast
Join us in celebrating a new generation of groundbreaking genre auteurs with this special group discussion between filmmakers and performers whose works intersect with their friendships and creative processes.
Visionary writer-director Jane Schoenbrun (I SAW THE TV GLOW, WE’RE ALL GOING TO THE WORLD’S FAIR - Fantasia 2021) will arrive in Montreal fresh off their Cannes premiere and Palm Queer with the extraordinary TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA, starring Hannah Einbinder (HACKS) and Gillian Anderson (THE X-FILES).
Hannah Einbinder is a gifted, Emmy-winning performer and comedian. CAMP MISAMSA is one of two feature films that she stars in this year, following Victoria Strouse’s SXSW breakout SEEKERS OF INFINITE LOVE.
As part of a new vanguard of groundbreaking transgressive filmmakers, frequent Jane Schoenbrun collaborators Louise Weard (who appears in a scene-stealing performance in CAMP MIASMA) and Alice Maio Mackay will also be screening at this year’s festival.
Louise Weard makes her Fantasia debut with CASTRATION MOVIE CHAPTER iii; A FRAGMENTARY PASSAGE. The film stars Avalon Fast (who also appears in CAMP MIASMA, and is the celebrated director of HONEYCOMB and CAMP) as she does everything in her power to stop her partner, (Henri Gillespi) from transitioning.
Jane Schoenbrun also shows up as the producer of OUR EFFED UP WORLD from frequent Fantasia festival darling, Alice Maio Mackay (THE SERPENT’S SKIN). Inspired by the alien invasion genre and slacker hang out movies, the film is about a group of friends standing up against an alien invasion that threatens to swallow the whole world with a cast featuring Jess McLeod (Also in CAMP MIASMA), Brandon Flynn (HELLRAISER, 2022) and Annapurna Sriram (FUCKTOYS) star in the film.
