We've finally arrived at the closing night of the fifth annual BAMcinemaFest, so it seems like a perfect time to express how proud we are to have showcased such a diverse array of Brooklyn talent and to have been hailed by The L Magazine as a "hometown festival." So many of the filmmakers who were a part of our line-up this year have called BAM their favorite local movie theater and have packed our festival screenings with family, friends, and collaborators. While a handful of films took place in various locations in Brooklyn (It Felt Like Love and Mother of George among them), we've mapped out where these local filmmakers call home to give you a visual representation of the exciting creative community residing in our borough.
