ONE NIGHT ONLY!

Rob (Rob Malone) and his friend Austyn (filmmaker Zach Weintraub) apply to become human guinea pigs at the local medical testing facility of a vaguely intentioned multinational company called EvCorp. As the facility’s mere presence has bitterly polarized the town, the two apply in stealth. Austyn is accepted, ushered away and out of contact into EvCorp’s shadowy interior, leaving Rob to bear the burden of secrecy and the private concern that all may not be well with his friend. As he navigates both sides of the town’s deepening rift, guilt and denial do battle in his mind - evoking eerie visions, paranoia and a strange physical malady.

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”.
