May 1, 2018/Brooklyn, NY—BAM announces the full lineup for the tenth annual BAMcinemaFest (Jun 20—Jul 1). Described as “filmgoers’ most exhilarating annual opportunity for discovery” (The Village Voice), BAMcinemaFest has evolved into a platform for both emerging and established filmmakers as well as unconventional and often overlooked films. This year’s 12-day festival presents all New York premieres and three world premieres. Gina Duncan, BAM’s Associate Vice President of Cinema explains "We are proud to present work that is compelling, defiant, and ultimately thrilling. It feels appropriate to celebrate the tenth BAMcinemaFest with a line-up of films and filmmakers whose energy and adventurousness hints at something profound taking root. I can't wait to see what it bears." Opening this year’s festival on Wednesday, June 20 is the head-spinningly surreal debut from musician-turned-filmmaker Boots Riley, Sorry to Bother You.
