In collaboration with filmmakers Christopher Jason Bell (who we feted with a near-complete retrospective in 2018) and Brandon Colvin (A DIM VALLEY), Spectacle is proud to host Hidden Visions: Snapshots of Contemporary Independent Cinema. It’s the first of its kind - a weekend-long festival celebrating long-and-short form works outside the increasingly mainstream festival food chain. In keeping with our screenings of GO DOWN DEATH, VIDEOFILIA and A BREAD FACTORY, these are uncompromising slices of low-to-no-budget cinema from over a dozen filmmakers (NYC-based or otherwise) guaranteed to shake the dust off your resting notions of “indie film”.
