ABOUT THE PROGRAM — THE FEATURED FILM:
I Saw the TV Glow
Dir. Jane Schoenbrun / 2024 / US / 1 hr 40 min / English
"I Saw the TV Glow is an experimental, horror film that has audiences facing and exploring their identities. A personal tale of gender dysphoria, the film is heartbreaking and bizarre." —Ghouls Next Door
Teenager Owen is just trying to make it through life in the suburbs when his classmate introduces him to a mysterious late-night TV show — a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own. In the pale glow of the television, Owen’s view of reality begins to crack.
