“Chaperone is a compelling watch and a striking debut feature from Eisenberg.”—Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Alliance of Women Film Journalists

Misha Miyamoto, 29, lives alone in the house her grandmother left her, has held the same job since high school, and likes her life as is: simple. Unfortunately, her satisfaction disappoints everyone around her. Her boss can’t fathom why she won’t take a promotion, her lack of ambition dissuades potential love interests, and her parents push her to sell her estate since she has no interest in starting a family. These pressures leave Misha isolated and sick of justifying her choices.

When an earnest 19-year-old mistakes Misha for a fellow student, she finds solace in his lack of expectation and begins a relationship with him. But as their relationship grows, so does Misha’s reckless behavior. Winner of Grand Jury Award for Breakouts, Slamdance. 2024, U.S., DCP, 103 minutes. Recommended for 17+.

CINEMA+ with a post-screening discussion with actress Mitzi Akaha and producer Gill Holland.

Followed by the Flyover Closing Night Cash Bar in the Speed Cinema Lobby.
