This festival launch is in celebration of the tenth anniversary of BAMcinematek - which began on July 1, 1999 with the “Summer of Spike” series and a screening of Spike Lee’s “Malcolm X” (1992). BAMcinematek is initiating this festival to “screen recent films in a festival atmosphere including filmmaker Q&As, late-night films, free outdoor screenings, an all-night film marathon, and other special events.” A portion of the first BAMcinemaFEST’s festival programming will honor ten years of repertory film screenings at BAM.
An evolution in BAMcinematek’s programming, the festival will effectively replace the Sundance at BAM series, which for the past few years brought films from the Sundance Film Festival to Brooklyn.| | The first annual BAMcinemaFEST opens with the New York premiere of Don't Let Me Drown, a beautiful and understated Brooklyn love story. This breakout feature film debut by Cruz Angeles was one of the major discoveries of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. Co-presented by Sundance Posse. More |
