Bo Burnham’s dazzling coming-of-age feature film debut with its mesmerising score by Anna Meredith played live.


Kayla Day, an eighth grade student in an American middle school in New York State struggles to fit in with her contemporaries during her last week of classes before graduating to high school.

The screening will be introduced by composer Anna Meredith and performed with a live score. 

“From pulsing woozy disorientation to spiralling anxiety and transcendent aspiration, Meredith’s music strikes the perfect chord throughout, as thrillingly expressive and magically immersive as this wonderful film deserves.” Mark Kermode, The Observer
