ASTORIA, NY.- Museum of the Moving Image and MUBI will present an exhibition of material related to Jane Schoenbrun’s highly anticipated new film Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma at the Museum starting July 30, in advance of the film’s theatrical release on August 7.

In Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, a meta exploration of the slasher film genre, a queer filmmaker (Hannah Einbinder) is tasked with resurrecting a 1980s/’90s-era horror franchise about supernatural murders at a sleepaway camp, and seeks out the film's original, reclusive "final girl" (Gillian Anderson) for inspiration.

The Museum exhibition, Reframing the Slasher: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, will pair screen-used props from the fictional Camp Miasma franchise—VHS tapes, posters, merchandise, and a costume—with a series of movie posters selected by Schoenbrun, which include Psycho (1960), Sleepaway Camp (1983), and Dressed to Kill (1980). The posters, accompanied by descriptive text by Schoenbrun, illuminate the sources the filmmaker drew upon, each of which contribute to the genre’s complex representation of gender, desire, and sexual deviance.

“Jane Schoenbrun’s wildly inventive new film is a conversation with slasher cinema, engaging themes that are central to the genre. We’re excited to manifest that connection at MoMI, by placing material from Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma in direct dialogue with posters from films that were formative to Schoenbrun’s approach,” said Barbara Miller, Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs, Museum of the Moving Image.

Presented in the Museum’s ground-floor Founders Hall, the exhibition will feature approximately 35 objects; admission is free. On view through November 8, 2026.

In conjunction with the exhibition, the Museum will present a members-only preview screening of Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma on August 4 with Schoenbrun and other special guests in person.
