Jane Schoenbrun's 'Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma' explores cinephilia

Jane Schoenbrun's Cannes-winning psychological drama Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma follows an independent filmmaker hired to revive an ageing slasher film franchise.

The film stars Hannah Einbinder as filmmaker Kris Williams and Gillian Anderson as Billy, a former actor who retreated to the original filming location.

The narrative centres on a lake monster named Little Death, which serves as a metaphor for hidden desires, artistic ambition, and cinematic history.
