The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinemaFest, BAMcinématek, and BAM Rose Cinemas.

Brooklyn, NY/May 10, 2016—BAMcinématek announces the complete main slate for the eighth annual BAMcinemaFest (Jun 15—26), hailed as “New York’s best showcase” (). A 12-day festival presenting premieres of emerging voices in American independent cinema, this year’s lineup features 23 New York premieres and two North American premieres.

"This year's annual snapshot of the best of American independent cinema is excitingly eclectic, ranging from a formally adventurous reimagining of post-World War I France to a vampy tribute to 60s erotica shot (and projected!) on 35mm film," says Gabriele Caroti, director of BAMcinématek. "We're thrilled to welcome the great Ira Sachs and Todd Solondz both who join us for the first time with this year's Opening Night and Centerpiece films Little Men and Wiener-Dog. And we're proud and honored to host our first three-time festival alumnus, Tim Sutton (Pavilion, BAMcinemaFest 2012; Memphis, BAMcinemaFest 2014), whose audaciously atmospheric Dark Night screens as this year's Closing Night film."

“The Wall Street Journal is proud once again to join BAMcinemaFest in celebrating the work of dynamic new filmmakers,” says Gerard Baker, editor-in-chief of The Wall Street Journal. “It is a privilege and a joy to play a role in introducing BAM audiences to these inspiring storytellers from around the world.”

Opening the festival on Wednesday, June 15 is the New York premiere of Ira Sachs’ Little Men, an achingly empathetic drama that confronts the complexities of gentrification by one of American independent cinema’s most perceptive filmmakers. After the death of his father, struggling Brian (Oscar nominee Greg Kinnear) inherits a Brooklyn house and moves in with his family. His artistically inclined teenage son Jake finds an inseparable friend in his neighbor Tony, but the strength of their bond is tested when Brian decides to raise the rent on Tony’s mother (Paulina Garcia, who won the Silver Bear for her performance in 2013’s Gloria), a Chilean immigrant who runs a dress shop on the ground floor. Suffused with hard-won compassion and honesty, this follow-up to 2014’s acclaimed Love Is Strange captures the joy and pain of coming of

age in a rapidly changing neighborhood. Little Men is a Magnolia Pictures release scheduled for theatrical release on August 5.

This year’s Closing Night selection is the New York premiere of Brooklyn filmmaker Tim Sutton’s third feature, Dark Night. Called “among the country’s most intriguing cinematic anthropologists” (Variety), Sutton’s latest is loosely inspired by the multiplex shooting that devastated Aurora, Colorado. The film observes six strangers as their lives intersect at the site of imminent brutality. Boasting evocative cinematography by Hélène Louvart (Pina, The Wonders) and a haunting score by Maica Armata, Dark Night is an impressionistic journey into the dread lurking beneath the placid surface of suburban life.

As a special Centerpiece selection, BAMcinemaFest presents the New York premiere of Todd Solondz’s macabre comedy Wiener-Dog. Two decades into a career of mining the varieties of human dysfunction, celebrated independent filmmaker Solondz (, Happiness) casts new light on the grotesque suburban landscape through the eyes of man’s best friend. With Danny DeVito, , , and and shot by Oscar-nominated (Carol). Wiener-Dog is an Amazon Studios/IFC Films release.

This year’s Spotlight selections are Ti West’s In a Valley of Violence and Jeff Baena’s comedy Joshy. In a Valley of Violence stars as a mysterious drifter who has a run-in with a smarmy gunslinger () who happens to be the son of the local marshal (). The run-in soon escalates into a bloody and berserk battle of revenge. In a Valley of Violence is a Focus World release. Featuring a score by Devendra Banhart and an ensemble cast of hilarious comedic talents— including (Silicon Valley), (), Jenny Slate (), and acclaimed filmmaker Alex Ross Perry (Queen of Earth, BAMcinemaFest 2015 Centerpiece)—Jeff Baena’s sophomore feature Joshy is a wickedly amusing portrayal of male bonding and emotional incompetence. After his engagement suddenly ends, Joshy and a few his decide to take advantage of what was supposed to be his bachelor party in Ojai, . In their attempt to help Joshy deal with the recent turn of events, the guys turn the getaway into a raucous weekend filled with drugs, booze, debauchery, and hot tubs. Joshy is a Lionsgate release.

. SPOTLIGHT: Joshy (Jeff Baena) NY Premiere Narrative

. The Alchemist Cookbook (Joel Potrykus) NY Premiere Narrative Young outcast Sean has isolated himself in a trailer in the Michigan backwoods, setting on alchemical pursuits with his cat Kaspar as his sole companion. Filled with disdain for authority, he’s escaped a society that has no place for him, but when he turns to black magic to crack nature’s secret, he rouses a malevolent force that threatens to dismantle both his otherworldly goals and his very being. This micro- budget genre-bender echoes the absurdist, visceral tones in Potrykus’s previous films, Buzzard and Ape, which were showcased in a BAMcinématek retrospective in 2015. An Oscilloscope Laboratories release.

. Another Evil (Carson Mell) NY Premiere Narrative There are spirits in the secluded vacation home of Dan (Steve Zissis) and Mary (Jennifer Irwin). Fed up with this supernatural nuisance, Dan hires Os, a professional exorcist (Mark Proksch) whose fragile emotional state after a recent divorce leads him to cling to his client as a potential new best friend. After a boozy week of bonding, it becomes clear Os answers to a boss much greater than his client, and will go to great lengths to please him. An inventive, risk-taking blend of horror and comedy, Silicon Valley writer

Carson Mell’s feature debut explores the unholy mess that emerges when a paranormal infestation is accompanied by a woefully human one.

. Author: The JT LeRoy Story (Jeff Feuerzeig) NY Premiere Documentary Armed with a tortured backstory and some scintillating subject matter, gender-non-conforming teen author JT LeRoy burst onto the literary scene in the late 90s, finding friends and champions among the likes of Winona Ryder, Billy Corgan, and . Two novels, one film adaptation, and several media appearances later, this much-publicized wunderkind was exposed as the fabrication of Laura Albert, a Brooklyn mother with a fake British accent and a troubled past of her own. Drawing on tell-all interviews and a wealth of archival material, including an unforgettable phone recording with , Author authoritatively unravels one of the most elaborate hoaxes in contemporary American fiction. An Amazon Studios/Magnolia Pictures release.

. The Childhood of a Leader (Brady Corbet) New York Premiere Narrative Independent film mainstay Brady Corbet (Mysterious Skin, Martha Marcy May Marlene) delivers one of the most audacious directorial debuts of the year (winning two major awards at the ) with this allegory of totalitarianism in the wake of World War I. Loosely inspired by the writings of Jean- Paul Sartre and Margaret MacMillan, The Childhood of a Leader is a nightmarish coming-of-age tale charting the early stirrings of despotism in a French choirboy (chillingly assured newcomer Tom Sweet), whose father is a high-ranking diplomat assisting President Woodrow Wilson in the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. Corbet’s ambitious reflection on the dark forces of history features a special appearance by Robert Pattinson and a thunderous orchestral score by avant-garde icon Scott Walker. A Sundance Selects release.

. collective:unconscious (Lily Baldwin, Frances Bodomo, Daniel Patrick Carbone, Josephine Decker, Lauren Wolkstein) NY Premiere Narrative Five of New York’s most innovative independent directors adapt each other’s dreams for the big screen in this ambitious omnibus film. Formally audacious and wildly unpredictable, this cinematic descent into the surreal ranges from the ominous to the absurd: a gym class is conducted from inside a volcano; the Grim Reaper hosts a chilling game show; one man’s risky quest changes a brainwashing tower signal; former prison inmates reflect on their first moments of freedom; and a mother-to-be realizes a beast is growing in her womb. Producer Dan Schoenbrun’s (The School is Watching, BAMcinemaFest 2015) project captures the hypnotic visions that result when gifted filmmakers are given unlimited creativity.

. Fraud (Dean Fleischer-Camp) NY Premiere Documentary While digging through the cyber-heaps of footage readily available on YouTube, filmmaker Dean Fleischer-Camp (Marcel the Shell) came upon more than 100 hours of home movie video documenting the birthday parties, afternoons spent at the playground, and mall trips of an unknown American family. Commenting on the fluid natures of digital storytelling and voyeurism, Fleischer-Camp masterfully re- edited the footage to create Fraud, a provocative narrative that paints a wild new portrait of the family and their day-to-day lives. A found-footage film in the truest sense, Fraud explores what happens when a new, unexpected narrative is imposed on the virtual detritus of our lives.

. Goat (Andrew Neel) NY Premiere Narrative Binge drinking, threats of forced bestiality, loads of piss and vomit: Andrew Neel’s dystopian vision of college Greek culture doesn’t skimp on the grotesque details. This unflinching adaptation of Brad Land’s memoir (co-scripted by David Gordon Green) dives into the merciless pledge period at Phi Sigma Mu, the fraternity that sensitive-but-jockish freshman Brad (Ben Schnetzer) hopes to join, and to which his swaggering older brother Brett (Nick Jonas, in a breakthrough performance) proudly belongs. Recently a victim of a car robbery and assault, Brad sets out to reaffirm his masculinity by submitting to the humiliation of the society’s hazing rituals. Cataloging the vagaries of this grueling process, Goat is both an indictment of sadistic machismo and a surprisingly sensitive look at brotherly intimacy. A Film Arcade/Paramount Pictures release.

. Kate Plays Christine (Robert Greene) NY Premiere Documentary

In 1974, Florida newscaster Christine Chubbuck made headlines (and became an inspiration for ’s Network) when she committed suicide on live television. In this Sundance Special Jury Award- winner, actress Kate Lyn Sheil (House of Cards, The Girlfriend Experience) heads to Sarasota to investigate the facts as she prepares to star in “a stylized cheap 70s soap opera” version of the story that may or may not be in production. Questioning the assumptions that often fuel cinematic recreations of the past, Robert Greene’s latest film is a mercilessly self-interrogating nonfiction thriller that explores the ethical pitfalls of media representation. A Grasshopper Film release.

. Little Sister (Zach Clark) NY Premiere Narrative “Fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic!”—. Zach Clark’s (White Reindeer, BAMcinemaFest 2013) fifth feature is an insightful, oddball exploration of family and trauma set during the run-up to the 2008 presidential election. Ex-goth-girl-turned-nun Colleen (Addison Timlin) returns to her childhood home in North Carolina to reconnect with her recently-disfigured military vet brother (Keith Poulson). Though she uprights the cross above her bed upon arrival, her teenage feelings of angst and alienation soon resurface. GWAR dance sessions, awkward mother-daughter conversations (featuring a wildly entertaining ), and drug-fueled Halloween parties ensue over the course of her visit. Clark “pleasingly meshes a scuzzy digital aesthetic with dreamy pop-art intrusions” (Variety), resulting in a feel-good trip about despair, joy, and everything in between.

. Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World (Werner Herzog) NY Premiere Documentary Indefatigable chronicler of curiosities grand and modest, Werner Herzog sets his latest sights on the most awe-inspiring wonder of our times: the Internet. The virtual world grows exponentially larger—and more invasive, interactive, and dynamic—each day. Comprising interviews with an eclectic selection of subjects—victims of online harassment, addicts, advanced robotics engineers, and brilliant pioneers who envision life on Mars—Lo and Behold contemplates the greater implications for humankind. These fascinating snapshots offer avenues through the endless digital expanse, allowing Herzog to ask the big questions about love, morality, and the future. A Magnolia Pictures release.

. The Love Witch (Anna Biller) NY Premiere Narrative “She loved men… to death.” A gorgeous throwback to 60s Technicolor erotic movies, Anna Biller’s tale about a love-, murderous witch is wicked feminist fun. Beautiful enchantress Elaine (Samantha Robinson) uses every spell at her disposal in order to make men fall in love with her. Once entranced, however, these would-be lovers reveal themselves as wholly unappealing romantic partners. The body count rises in her luscious gothic Victorian apartment as she disposes of her failures and pines ever more desperately for a worthy sweetheart. Shot and presented on sumptuous, color-soaked 35mm, The Love Witch offers a stylish, fantastical examination of gender and female desire.

. Morris from America (Chad Hartigan) NY Premiere Narrative This heartwarming coming-of-age comedy centers on Morris (Markees , in an incredible breakout performance), a 13-year-old who has just relocated with his father, Curtis (Craig Robinson), to Heidelberg, Germany. Morris is a complete fish-out-of-water—a self-proclaimed budding Notorious B.I.G. in an EDM world. He falls hard for a cool, rebellious classmate, and sets out against all odds to take the hip-hop world by storm and win the girl of his dreams. Chad Hartigan’s (This is Martin Bonner, BAMcinemaFest 2013) delightfully original take on growing up and finding your voice won two prizes at this year’s : the Waldo Salt Screening Award and a Special Jury Award for Robinson, whose touching, nuanced performance has been receiving tremendous praise. An release.

. Newtown (Kim A. Snyder) NY Premiere Documentary In this devastating documentary, community members of Newtown, Connecticut—police officers, parents, emergency responders, teachers—speak out on the grief and trauma that will weave them together forever. Given exclusive access to the homes of those who lost loved ones in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, documentarian Kim Snyder captures intimate cycles of mourning and anger, coping and disbelief, electing to document the reverberations one act of violence can have on a town and its residents. This compassionate portrait suggests that while grief echoes far and wide, the collective conscience of this heartbroken town is also bonded by empathy, resilience, and hope.

. Radio Dreams (Babak Jalali) NY Premiere Narrative In this Rotterdam Film Festival award-winning comedy, beloved singer-songwriter Mohsen Namjoo—often hailed as “the of Iran”—stars as Hamid, an esteemed author who moves to San Francisco and makes a career shift as the director at a financially struggling Farsi-language radio station. With his Einstein-ian shock of hair and cantankerous disposition, he presides over a resolutely uncommercial program, whose owners hope to cash in with an on-air jam session featuring Afghan rock band Kabul Dreams and their longtime idols, Metallica. Charting the course of a day at the station’s claustrophobic offices, where the staff wait anxiously for the arrival of Metallica—whose drummer Lars Ulrich ultimately makes a special appearance—Radio Dreams explores art, commerce, and assimilation with a deft blend of deadpan humor and melancholy.

. (Clay Liford) NY Premiere Narrative Fifteen-year-old Neil is both a shy, questioning high-school freshman and a burgeoning author of slash fiction—steamy stories written with a homoerotic bent about iconic characters in fantasy and sci-fi pop culture. When his writing is involuntarily shared at school, Neil is ostracized by everyone in the community save uninhibited classmate Julia. A fellow erotic writer, Julia encourages him to share his prose about Vanguard, the hyper-masculine hero of a major sci-fi franchise who, with Neil’s help, has explosive pansexual encounters across the galaxy. Clay Liford’s (My Mom Smokes Weed, BAMcinemaFest, 2010; Wuss; Earthling) compassionate exploration of adolescence, fandom, and sexuality finds its heroes discovering the courage it takes to be their most authentic selves.

. Spa Night (Andrew Ahn) NY Premiere Narrative Andrew Ahn’s debut feature is an atmospheric journey through the churches, karaoke bars, and 24-hour spas of ’ Korean immigrant community. Tight-lipped 18-year-old David Cho (Sundance Award winner Joe Seo) struggles to balance the pressures of college admissions with the odd jobs he takes to help his financially struggling parents. When a gig at an all-male spa gives him his first glimpse at an underworld of gay hookups, he begins to explore his burgeoning sexual desires. Interweaving family drama with scenes of frank eroticism, this luminously shot drama upends clichés of the gay coming-of- age film. A Strand release.

. A Stray (Musa Syeed) NY Premiere Narrative On the run from a host of misfortunes, Somali immigrant Adan (Barkhad Abdirahman, Captain Phillips) finds himself on the streets of Minneapolis after his mother kicks him out and his friends deny him refuge. His prospects start looking up when he finds shelter and a new job at a local mosque, but he’s evicted when he brings in a stray dog, whose presence is deemed impure by members of the Muslim community. Homeless again, he must navigate the pressures brought on by his newfound faith, past friends and an old flame, and an FBI agent who hopes to enlist him as an informant. Gritty and beautifully shot, Musa Syeed’s sophomore feature is a moving look at the Twin Cities’ underrepresented refugee community.

. Suited (Jason Benjamin) NY Premiere Documentary The HBO documentary film SUITED, directed by Jason Benjamin, spotlights Bindle & Keep, a bespoke tailoring company based in Brooklyn that caters to a diverse LGBTQ community and looks beyond the gender binary, creating custom-made suits for gender non-conforming and transgender clients. Clothier duo Rae and Daniel take a holistic approach to their work, considering each client’s personal narrative, which becomes inextricable from the creation of the perfect suit. From Derek’s emotional journey as he prepares for his wedding, to Everett, a law student in a conservative environment, to Mel, who simply wants to look good for her 40th birthday party—the need for well-fitting garments represents deeper meaning around identity, empowerment, and feeling good. Produced by Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner, the film documents a cultural shift that is creating a new demand—and response—for each person’s right to go out into the world with confidence. A HBO Documentary Films release.

. Tiny: The Life of Erin Blackwell (Martin Bell) NY Premiere Documentary Thirty-two years after the landmark documentary Streetwise introduced viewers to an indelible teenage girl known as Tiny—then a 14-year-old prostitute living on the streets of Seattle—director Martin Bell revisits the tumultuous life of Erin Blackwell. Chronicling her rocky path from drug addiction and poverty to

an all-too-fragile stability as the mother of ten children, this intimate follow-up—produced by the late, legendary photographer Mary Ellen Mark, who chronicled Blackwell’s life for 32 years—is a compassionate portrait of a woman scarred by life, but who remains resilient.

. A Woman, A Part (Elisabeth Subrin) North American Premiere Narrative Forty-something, Ritalin-dependent TV star Anna Baskin (Sons of Anarchy, Mad Men, and Billions' ) is in emotional freefall. In the hopes of escaping her Emmy-winning screen persona, she impulsively walks of the set of her LA show and flies back to New York. Squatting in her old rent stabilized Brooklyn apartment, she makes awkward attempts to reconnect with friends from her old theater company, unleashing unresolved dynamics from the past. Multidisciplinary artist Elisabeth Subrin, whose credits include critically acclaimed films and installations such as Lost Tribes and Promised Lands (2010) and Shulie (1997), makes her narrative feature debut with this “poignant and compelling” (Artforum) examination of sexism, professional burnout, and the porous boundary between our authentic and performed selves.

Special events, shorts, the complete festival schedule, and press screenings to be announced.
