SXSW London has added two buzzy premieres to its Screen Festival slate: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma and The Invite.
Jane Schoenbrun‘s I Saw the TV Glow follow-up, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, is set to close the event.
The full program for the June 1-6 event has now been released, headlined by opener Virginia Woolf’s Night and Day and finishing with Schoenbrun’s slasher film, starring Gillian Anderson and Hannah Einbinder.
“Jane Schoenbrun has been building one of the most fascinating bodies of work in cinema today,” said Anna Bogutskaya, head of the Screen Festival. “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma builds on every touchpoint of Schoenbrun’s work, exploring horror, fandom, memory, and identity, and pushes it further. Every scene between […] Einbinder and […] Anderson was so charged, I was afraid the screen might catch fire.”
SXSW London organizers have also nabbed the U.K. premiere of Olivia Wilde’s The Invite with Seth Rogen, Penelope Cruz and Ed Norton, as well as Sofia Coppola’s documentary on Marc Jacobs, which first made its debut at Venice last year.
This final announcement adds a further four world premieres to the lineup, including Bruno Safadi’s The Playoffs, Thanasis Neofotistos’ The Boy With Light-Blue Eyes, Sam McConnell’s Test and Christ Atkins’ Getting Away With It.
They’ve also secured a special screening in collaboration with Silents Synced of The Cure Meets The Man Who Laughs, a re-scored edition of the 1928 silent classic with music from The Cure. Elsewhere, American Zoo with Tim Travers Hawkins will screen alongside Pretty/Dirty: The Life and Times of Marilyn Minter from Amanda Benchley and Jennifer Ash Rudick.
International highlights include Irkalla – Gilgamesh’s Dream from Mohamed Al Daradji, Funky Freaky Freaks from Han Chang-lok, and Made in EU by Stephan Komandarev. They’ll be joined by Kasia Adamik’s Winter of the Crow, Adrian Chiarella’s Leviticus, Mohammed Sawwaf’s Gaza’s Twins, Come Back to Me, Paul Urkijo Alijo’s The Night (Gaua) and Bikas Ranjan Mishra’s Bayaan.
