Fresh from rapturous premieres at Sundance and SXSW, the Wisconsin Film Festival & WUD Film present a special sneak peek of I Saw the TV Glow. Teenager Owen is just trying to make it through life in the suburbs when his classmate introduces him to a mysterious late-night TV show—a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own. In the pale glow of the television, Owen’s view of reality begins to crack. Be one of the first to see this upcoming A24 knockout, featuring an appearance by Phoebe Bridgers.
Students attending the screening will have the opportunity to reserve FREE tickets to the upcoming Wisconsin Film Festival, April 4-11! Check out the lineup at wifilmfest.eventive.org and come ready to score some tix.
