Bo Burnham
Eighth Grade - BACK TO SCHOOL
Growing up hurts—even before high school starts.
Kayla, a shy 13-year-old, is counting down her last days of middle school while trying to project confidence online. In the messy overlap between real life and social media, she stumbles toward self-acceptance in a world that’s louder than her own voice.
On September 10th, experience the awkward, hilarious, and heartfelt world of Eighth Grade—but don’t miss our introduction before the screening and the post-film Mental Health Panel Talk (in Dutch), diving into the pressures, anxieties, and realities of growing up in the digital age. More information will follow soon.
De verlegen 13-jarige Kayla maakt de laatste dagen van de brugklas door, terwijl ze online een zelfverzekerd imago probeert op te bouwen. Tussen de werkelijkheid en sociale media leert ze langzaam zichzelf accepteren in een wereld die harder praat dan zij.
Duik op 10 september in de ongemakkelijke, grappige en ontroerende wereld van Eighth Grade—maar mis onze introductie vóór de vertoning en het Mental Health Panel Talk na de film niet, waarin we ingaan op de druk, angsten en realiteit van opgroeien in het digitale tijdperk.
