Film artists and aficionados alike flocked to the Harvey Theater and
Skylight One Hanson last night for the opening night of
BAMcinemaFest 2013, the fifth anniversary of the annual festival.
The evening began with the premiere of David Lowery’s gritty drama
Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, starring Rooney Mara, Casey Affleck, and Ben Foster. Audiences were also introduced to the brand-new
Steinberg Screen, BAM’s newest artistic expansion, which transforms the historic Harvey Theater into Brooklyn’s largest movie palace.

After the film, guests were ushered down the street to Skylight One Hanson where they were treated to a fair-themed extravaganza in the beautiful and unique venue. DJ Monk-One set the tone with an eclectic mix of dance music while partygoers snacked on the sweet and savory treats displayed in the candy bar at the center of the room. Décor designer
Fleurs Bella mixed towering greens and enormous blooms with silver balloons, and caterer
Great Performances served up pulled pork sliders and nachos.
