In a dystopic corner of urban Antwerp stands Paradise, a ten-story apartment block that houses some of the baddest dudes and dudettes in all of Belgium. Packed to the gills with drug hustlers, arms dealers, illicit brothels, and every other brand of seedy, dangerous commerce you can imagine, Paradise is a thorn in the side of the authorities and the time has come to bring it all down.

Opening with flesh and blood, Jane Schoenbrun’s latest work, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, is a continuation of the queer exploration found in their previous films, We’re All Going to the World’s Fair and I Saw the TV Glow, yet more as a bold, confrontational breakthrough. Hannah Einbinder plays Kris, a talented young filmmaker and devoted fan of the cult horror franchise ‘Camp Miasma’, who is directing its latest remake and finally living out her dream. Her journey leads her to Billy Presley (Gillian Anderson), the actress who played the ‘final girl’ in the original film and is still living in the very house where it was shot.
