Afterschool centres on the experience of Robert (Ezra Miller - We Need to Talk About Kevin), a young American student at an elite East Coast preparatory school who accidentally captures on camera the tragic deaths of two female classmates. Their lives become memorialised as part of an audio-visual assignment intended to facilitate the campus-wide healing process, with the technophile Robert eventually overseeing the project. But the memorial assignment only serves to heighten the atmosphere of paranoia and unease among both students and teachers.

Award-winning young director Antonio Campos first major feature is an intelligent, inventive study in alienation. Campos sets age-old adolescent anxieties within a disorientating contemporary culture of omnipresent voyeurism.
