Afterschool
A truly impressive new voice in American indie film, Antonio Campos arrives with "Afterschool," a riveting look at the dark side of youth in the media age.
An official selection of the Cannes, Berlin, SXSW and New York Film Festivals in 2008, this outstanding feature debut was also nominated for 2 Gotham awards including Best Director, and the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature.
Robert is a young American student at an elite East Coast preparatory school who accidentally captures the death of two classmates on camera.
Their lives become memorialized as part of an audio-visual document intended to speed up the campus-wide healing process.
But instead, the video creates an atmosphere of paranoia and unease among students and teachers.
