We’re All Going to the World’s Fair15

Directed by Jane Schoenbrun | USA | 2021 | 1h 26m | Starring Anna Cobb, Michael J Rogers, Holly Anne Frink

Alone in her attic bedroom, teenager Casey becomes immersed in an online role-playing horror game, wherein she begins to document the sinister changes happening to her state of mind. Trans filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun explores internet folklore (“creepypasta”) and the loneliness of online adolescence in this haunting and experimental lo-fi horror.

Reviews

‘A creepypasta horror that makes the internet scarier than usual. Jane Schoenbrun’s directorial debut refuses to go where it’s expected, or hit the most obvious talking points’
★★★★
Clarisse Loughrey, The Independent

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
