Brooklyn Underground Film Festival Celebrates 4th Season
Announces Musical Lineup for Festival Events
BROOKLYN, NY —
(MARKET WIRE)
— 02/27/2006 — The Brooklyn Underground Film Festival proudly
continues its tradition of being New York’s premier festival for new and
emerging filmmakers to showcase their films. Celebrating its fourth
season, the festival will be held April 19 – 23 at the Brooklyn Lyceum in
Park Slope.
More than 3,000 patrons attended last year’s festival and this year will be
unlike any other. In January, the Brooklyn Brewery hosted the Last Call
for Submissions party, which drew in hundreds of guests and last-minute
film submissions. Having received more than 1,000 film submissions, the
fourth annual festival will showcase the freshest, most innovative voices
in underground film including comedies, dramas, documentaries, and
experimental work. In addition, screenings will be accompanied by Q&A
sessions with filmmakers, and our first-ever panel discussions with members
of the artistic community and film industry. The Brooklyn Underground Film
Festival also hosts an art exhibit, which will be on display at the
Brooklyn Lyceum for three months.
Confirmed recording artists performing at the festival’s after-parties are
Har Mar Superstar and the Hunting Party, with more to be announced.
What began five years ago as a largely do-it-yourself project, which
screened dozens of local and international films in a makeshift theater in
DUMBO, has now become the premier film festival for exhibiting independent
film and art outside the mainstream arena.
Tickets are $8 and can be purchased through the Brooklyn Underground Film
Festival’s website beginning in April 2006.

The Brooklyn Underground Film Festival is an outlet for emerging and
radical new voices from around the globe. Its mission is to create a fresh
arena for discussion between artists, filmmakers and audiences, with a
focus on personal cinema and work driven by new processes.
