Spectacle Programs: The Future Weird
The Future Weird is a series dedicated to speculative, experimental and weird film by directors from Africa and the Global South. Each thematically organized screening draws on a range of materials, including commercials, music videos, newsreels, and colonial archives to frame films which imagine the future from black and brown perspectives. We invite physical and digital communities into a cinematic laboratory to disturb science-fiction clichés and think collectively about queer space, brown futures and the black fantastic. The series is curated by Derica Shields and Megan Eardley.

Spectacle Programs: Kinetic Cinema
Kinetic Cinema is a regular screening series of Pentacle's Movement Media curated by invited guest artists who create evenings of films and videos that have been influential to their own work as artists. When artists are asked to reflect upon how the use of movement in film and media arts has influenced their own art, a plethora of new ideas, material, and avenues of exploration emerge. From cutting edge motion capture animation to Michael Jackson music videos, from Gene Kelly musicals to Kenneth Anger films, Kinetic Cinema is dedicated to the recognition and appreciation for "moving" pictures. Spectacle has presented these evenings at Collective: Unconscious, Chez Bushwick, IRT, Launchpad, Green Space, Uniondocs, CRS, 3rd Ward, Fort Useless and The Tank in New York City, as well as at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia.
Kinetic Cinema is coordinated on the Spectacle Theater side by Dana Reinoos.
