Spectacle is proud to bring its own variation on the second-ever complete Will Hindle retrospective, functioning as both the first in New York City and the first opportunity to watch all 11 of his films in chronological order. This retrospective encompasses nearly 30 years of filmmaking, with all his films shown on 16mm prints and several being presented via the sole distributable prints in good condition.
BETWEEN US - INTIMACY AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY BY CHRISTIAN FLEMM Friday, June 27, 2025, at 8:00 PM at Espace En Cours, 56 rue de la Réunion, Paris 20th arrondissement Buzenval, Avron, A. Dumas metro station
Christian Flemm is invited to Espace en Cours to present his first and latest 16mm films alongside film works intertwined with his practice as a teacher and film restorer.
Tone Glow is excited to announce “Unknown Nostalgia,” the first complete retrospective of Will Hindle’s filmography. Will Hindle (1929-1987) was an American filmmaker whose striking and innovative use of experimental film techniques led to the creation of a small but mighty body of work. Born in Louisiana and later relocating to Los Angeles, he grew up with an actress mother, which led to him having various stints as a child actor. He would attend Stanford University, live in San Francisco, and then relocate to rural Alabama.
1967 was the year that the Canyon Cinema Co-op was born in San Francisco. Formed as a distribution cooperative for films made by members, it grew out of the itinerant Canyon Cinema formed a few years earlier by a loose association of Bay Area artist-filmmakers. The Canyon Co-Op was the west coast’s contribution to a growing international network for showing and seeing films that fell outside the bounds of polite manners, censors’ approval, and art-world decorum.

“The first book to consider video as an art form, was influential in establishing the field of media arts. In the book he argues that a new, expanded cinema is required for a new consciousness. He describes various types of filmmaking utilising new technology, including film special effects, computer art, video art, multi-media environments and holography.” (Wikipedia)
