BAMcinématek Announces Lineup for 3rd Season of Cinemafest
BAMcinématek announced its full slate for the 2011 season of Cinemafest (June 16-26) last week. With Cinemafest, BAM is emerging as a major New York area destination for showcasing the best of independent film. Among the lineup this year, which primarily focuses on American indies but with a few international films and a reparatory classic thrown in for good measure, are 19 New York premieres and 1 U.S. premiere. “Not only has Brooklyn become a premiere venue for showcasing important works of global cinema, it’s home to an active new wave of filmmakers,” BAMcinématek’s Program Director Florence Almonzini recently remarked.
Indeed, this year’s lineup reflects that commitment by including such New York filmmakers’ works as Azazel Jacobs’ Terri, Alex Ross Perry’s The Color Wheel, Michael Tully’s Septien and Sophia Takal’s Green, to name just a few.
