Last night it almost seemed as though BAM CinemaFEST was competing against itself for Brooklyn’s indie film audiences. The festival simultaneously screened two from its amazing 2011 slate of narrative films: Azazel Jacobs’ TERRI in its theater on Lafayette and in a joint event with Rooftop Films, CATECHISM CATACLYSM screened outdoors in BAM’s parking lot just kitty corner.
The attendance at both venues was sold-out. Afterward –the screenings and Q&A’s– CinemaFEST turned into LoveFEST as indie filmmakers celebrated each other’s success shuttling back and forth between after parties. Then a composite of casts and crews went out for late night cocktails and more camaraderie.
Here’s a slideshow of last night’s festivities in Fort Greene, Brooklyn!
