In this meta explorati on of the slasher film genre\, a queer filmmaker (Hannah Einbinder) is tas ked with resurrecting a 1980s/’90s-era horror franchise about supernatur al murders at a sleepaway camp\, and seeks out the film’s original\, rec lusive “final girl” (Gillian Anderson) for inspiration. \nThe Museum ’s installation will pair screen-used props from the fictional Camp Mias ma franchise—VHS tapes\, posters\, merchandise\, and a costume—with a series of movie posters selected by Schoenbrun\, which include Psycho (196 0)\, Sleepaway Camp (1983)\, and Dressed to Kill (1980). The posters\, wit h descriptive text by Schoenbrun\, illuminate the sources the filmmaker dr ew upon\, each of which contribute to the genre’s complex representation of gender\, desire\, and sexual deviance. \nThe exhibition opened July 30 \, ahead of the film’s theatrical release on August 7. It will be on vie w in the Museum’s ground-floor Founders Hall and will feature approximat ely 35 objects\; admission is free. \nPresenting Sponsor LAST-MODIFIED:20260815T002243Z URL:https://movingimage.org/event/camp-miasma/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm _medium=ics&utm_campaign=new-york-ny X-SOURCE-NAME:Museum of the Moving Image X-SOURCE-URL:https://movingimage.us/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Axel Tosca's Cuban Jam DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260917 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260918 DTSTAMP:20260914T040738Z UID:11512-1789603200-1789689599@www.zincbar.com CATEGORIES:free,music DESCRIPTION:“Axel Tosca Trio and the Legendary Xiomara Laugart Rock “T he Cuban\nJam” Every Thursday at Zinc Bar: A Must-See Event in NYC!” —Kaju\nRoberto\, Village View \nShowtimes: 8:00PM & 9:30PM Tickets: $35 at the door\nReservations: Not necessary — we recommend arriving 20– 30 minutes before showtime.\nSeating: Available throughout the shows.\nBa r Hours: Open from 5:00 PM to midnight — no cover charge to enjoy cockt ails and the vibe! \nExperience a night of electrifying music with 3x Gram my-nominated Cuban\npianist Axel Tosca.

Established in 1984\, t he organization has dedicated itself to breaking the bubble of classical p retension by treating every composition under a rule of “all of the abov e”—seamlessly fusing contemporary classical music with jazz\, electron ics\, and groove-driven experimentation. By partnering with Robert Voisey ’s Vox Novus\, a fellow grassroots powerhouse dedicated to giving a glob al voice to living composers through innovative presentation practices\, t his concert highlights a powerful\, shared commitment to artistic democrat ization.
