Bleak Cinema celebrates Jane Schoenbrun’s inaugural feature, We’re All Going to the World’s Fair, a morosely engrossing film that establishes Schoenbrun’s ongoing interest in the influence of media on selfhood.

World’s Fair captures the Internet Age in all its boundless estrangement. The online frontier contains all the vastness of the universe with none of its beauty, leaving those who wander it listless and numb amidst a pixelated dark. 

The browser is a portal to another dimension, one through which no heart should tread, one that leads inevitably and irrevocably to the deepest abyss of all our misery: the World’s Fair.

$1 of every ticket sold will go to House of Rebirth, a Dallas-based nonprofit organization that provides health resources, housing support, and social advocacy for transgender and gender-diverse communities in Texas.
