Trust BrooklynBased.net to give you the scoop on this year’s BAMCinemaFEST below:
The second installment of BAMcinemaFEST returns this week with an amazing slate of shorts and features, director appearances, live music, and 16 New York premieres, even more than last year.
The Duplass Brothers’ hilarious film Cyrus, a hit at Sundance, opens the festival this Wednesday in the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House. It stars Marisa Tomei and John C. Reilly (who will both be at the screening) as an unlikely couple whose only stumbling block is Tomei’s son Cyrus, played bySuperbad star Jonah Hill. A free after party follows, fueled by Brooklyn Brewery beer, Macallan scotch, and ton of food, all free.
That’s just one of the hot tickets in the eclectic 12-day festival. The 20 features and 16 short films emphasize up-and-coming voices like emerging director Matt Porterfield, whose acclaimed debut Hamilton was called one of the decade’s top films by The New Yorker. His follow-up, Putty Hill, which screens this Sunday June 13, is about the family and friends of a young Baltimore man who OD’s on heroin.
