Directed by Jane Schoenbrun | 2021

With Anna Cobb, Holly Anne Frink, Michael J. Rogers

A hit at Sundance 2021, this singular debut combines indie drama and horror film aesthetics for a haunting depiction of living online. Late on a cold night somewhere in the US, teenage Casey sits alone in her attic bedroom, scrolling the Internet under the glow-in-the-dark stars and black-light posters that blanket the ceiling. She has finally decided to take the World’s Fair Challenge, an online role-playing horror game, and embrace the uncertainty it promises. After the initiation, she documents the changes that may or may not be happening to her, adding her experiences to the shuffle of online clips available for the world to see. As she begins to lose herself between dream and reality, a mysterious figure reaches out, claiming to see something special in her uploads.

Join Schoenbrun and moderator Eva Victor for a Q&A following the 7pm screening on April 14 & Schoenbrun and moderator Brigette Lundy-Paine for a Q&A following the 7pm screening on April 15
