MUBI will release Jane Schoenbrun’s “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma” in theaters starting Friday, Aug. 7, following the film’s 2026 Cannes premiere.
The new feature centers on 29-year-old filmmaker Kris, played by Hannah Einbinder, who is hired to reboot a transphobic 1980s slasher franchise and is drawn into a sexual awakening with the original final girl, played by Gillian Anderson.
Schoenbrun’s latest film is framed as a queer, pop-colored slasher send-up that also satirizes studio attempts to commercialize a singular voice, extending themes of identity explored in “We’re All Going to the World’s Fair” and “I Saw the TV Glow.”
The release gives MUBI a high-profile theatrical title from a Cannes debut, with Alex G returning on music and “TV Glow” cinematographer Eric Yue again collaborating with Schoenbrun.
