ONE SCREENING ONLY!

FUTURE LANGUAGE: The Dimensions of VON LMO is a distorted portrait of an artist that explores storytelling, ego, delusion, conviction and memory. VON LMO is a musician/artist and self-proclaimed alien-hybrid who was a part of the late 70s New York No Wave music scene. Between trips to his home planet of Strazar and multi-dimensional travel, VON has also spent some very real time in prison and on the streets of Earth. Challenged with translating his Future Language for audiences across the galaxy, Lori, our filmmaker and VON LMO fan, gets sucked into VON's orbit and finds herself lost in his story.

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”.
