Lightbulb Film Distribution has sent over the UK theatrical poster and trailer for new coming-of-age horror feature, We’re All Going To The World’s Fair, which is coming to UK cinemas 29th April.

Following its World premiere at Sundance, the film played at Fantasia and Grimmfest (UK premiere).

Late on a cold night somewhere in the U.S., teenage Casey (Anna Cobb in her feature debut) sits alone in her attic bedroom, scrolling the internet under the glow-in-the-dark stars and black-light posters that blanket the ceiling. She has finally decided to take the World’s Fair Challenge, an online role-playing horror game, and embrace the uncertainty it promises. After the initiation, she documents the changes that may or may not be happening to her, adding her experiences to the shuffle of online clips available for the world to see. As she begins to lose herself between dream and reality, a mysterious figure reaches out, claiming to see something special in her uploads.

Written and Directed by Jane Schoenbrun, you can check out the trailer below.

Opening April 15th at BAM and the Quad Cinema in New York. It then hits US cinemas (including the Landmark Westwood in Los Angeles) and digital platforms on April 22nd.

We’re All Going To The World’s Fair arrives in UK cinemas from April 29, and on Digital Download and Blu-ray from May 9.
