I Saw the TV Glow

Thu. 23 July 2026

Owen, an isolated teen, is just trying to make it through life in the suburbs, when his classmate Maddy introduces him to a mysterious late-night TV show — The Pink Opaque, a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own.

Owen and Maddy bond over their appreciation of the show, but as their connection to the show deepens, they find themselves questioning their own reality and identities.

This 2024 nostalgia-filled trans-allegory horror from director Jane Schoenbrun (We're All Going to the World's Fair) is a one-of-a-kind, surreal and thought-provoking feature.

Back on the big screen in advance of the release of Jane Schoenbrun's new film Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, as part of WTF, Showroom's monthly screening strand celebrating the films that make you say "What The F...ilm"!?
