"This fall, Spectacle embarks on a mission nearly ten years in the making: honoring the opinions of one Benjamin Pequet, the mild-mannered Belgian you may have seen sitting between two craft IPAs at your favorite (or least-favorite) screening. Of course Benjamin is not the only Spectacle diehard, but his years of loyal service and stubborn refusal to cross the patron-volunteer threshold have made him a kind of arbiter of taste (or human Richter scale) for Spectacle programming.
"After months of feverish discussion with Benjamin, we’re thrilled to kick off this monthly carte blanche series with a special one-night Friday the 13th event honoring the enigmatic Twitch streamer and bricolage-r of the audiovisual unknown who calls himself FORGOTTEN_VCR.
"Then, later in October, join Benjamin for two films by Soda Kazuhiro, building off of our 2019 retrospective: his breakout 2008 documentary MENTAL, followed by the little-screened sequel documentary ZERO. Both shows will be followed by a remote Q+A with Soda and his producer Kashiwagi Kiyoko, guided if not moderated by Benjamin Pequet."
