At this week’s BAMcinemaFest 2013 there’s a fascinating selection of new films you’ve never heard of by Brooklyn filmmakers. Seems like there’s a veritable explosion of filmakers living in Brooklyn and all this creativity, fundraising and production is coming to fruition at BAM, the theater many of the filmmakers say is their favorite movie theater in Brooklyn.

I wholeheartedly agree. See the schedule and film descriptions here. 

The films that people seem to be buzzing about are  narrative features and docs: After Tiller, It Felt Like Love. These Birds Walk, Computer Chess, Drinking Buddies, Northern Lights Mother of George, Crystal Fair, Newlyweeds. Everyone wants to see Ain’t Them Bodies Saints with Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck directed by David Lowery.

Go Brooklyn!
