“One of the most important new voices in both queer and avant-garde cinema, Haddad’s work can alternate between languid and truly abrasive rhythms, often inhabiting a POV that feels truly dangerous in a filmmaking landscape for young directors so encouraging of “niceness”.” – Ethan Vestby, Bleeding Edge

Coming in hot from the north, this six-film survey of Canadian filmmaker Kalil Haddad’s incendiary and truly strange work makes its stateside microcinema debut this summer at Spectacle Theatre. A retrospective screening that shows a young artist’s evolution over the years, the progression of films tells a unique story: one that grows increasingly disturbing and aesthetically bold, culminating in the truly shocking VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE.
