During the pre-internet days of the 1990s, and amid the mess of puberty, high schoolers Maddy and Owen form an unlikely bond over The Pink Opaque, a supernatural-themed teen TV series. They meet up for slumber parties when possible, and swap VHS tapes when not – the show allowing them to leave their binary realities and instead escape each week into a world of psychic connection, authenticity and a battle against the Midnight Realm. As they become deeply enmeshed in its fandom, consumed by its lore, it’s not long before they lose track of what’s real and what’s not.
Director Jane Schoenbrun’s lo-fi debut We’re All Going to the World’s Fair – a body horror fable about videogame mania – exploded onto the scene as a Gen Z cause célèbre. Once again, they have crafted a story about the ways that technology and art can be lifelines for outsiders, this time interweaving themes of gender, queerness and identity with elevated twists on genre.
Featuring a soundtrack bolstered by indie favourites such as Alex G and Caroline Polachek, and a plethora of pop-culture easter eggs (including appearances by Phoebe Bridgers, Snail Mail, Fred Durst and more). I Saw the TV Glow is a nostalgic yet refreshingly-original trip to the dark side showcasing Schoenbrun’s singular filmic vision.
Entry requirements: 18+
