Synopsis:

Afterschool centres on the experience of Robert, a young American student at an elite East Coast preparatory school who accidentally captures on camera the tragic deaths of two female classmates. Their lives become memorialised as part of an audio-visual assignment intended to facilitate the campus-wide healing process, with the technophile Robert eventually overseeing the project. But the memorial assignment only serves to heighten the atmosphere of paranoia and unease among both students and teachers. Ezra Miller (Californication) is the teenage lead in award-winning young director Antonio Campos - intelligent, inventive study in alienation. In this, his first major feature, Campos sets age-old adolescent anxieties within a disorientating contemporary culture of omnipresent voyeurism. This acclaimed, powerful and provocative film is available here for the first time.

Violence and voyeurism lurk beneath the surface of life at an exclusive prep school in this independent drama. Robert (Ezra Miller) is a high school student who has made a hobby out of dulling his senses with violent pornography he finds on the internet. While Robert doesn't have many friends, he does have a habit of documenting the habits of his classmates with a digital video camera, and he happens to be on hand when two girls from his class succumb to fatal drug overdoses. As the deaths leave the school's faculty at a lost for what to do and send many of the students into a state of depression and denial, Robert finds himself becoming even more alienated from the world around him. Afterschool was the first feature film from writer and director Antonio Campos, and was screened as part of the "Un Certain Regard" series at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.

Drama. Awkward sophomore Robert is deeply disturbed when two girls at his school suffer fatal drug overdoses and the tragedy is captured on his video camera.
