At the Brooklyn Lyceum April 19-23, the Brooklyn Underground Film Festival – call it BUFF. Here Lisa Curtis of the Brookyn Papers tells us all about it:

The Brooklyn Underground Film Festival (BUFF) surfaces at the Brooklyn Lyceum April 19-23 with films that range from "Super Happy Fun Monkey Bash," a montage of scenes from Japanese TV (pictured), to earnest, politically charged documentaries addressing Mexican immigration, such as "Letters from the Other Side" and "The Other Side."

The world premiere of "Super Happy Fun Monkey Bash," directed by an anonymous collective, according to BUFF programming Director Josh Koury, is April 22 at 10:15 pm. According to BUFF staffer Alex Smith, "The zany, mind-numbing world of Japanese television shall blow your f-king skull off."

In addition to screening 100 films, this year’s festival will also include an on-site group art exhibit, "In the Face of Mechanical Reproduction"; and performances by Har Mar Superstar, The Hunting Party, The Five O’Clock Heroes, and 33Hz at Williamsburg’s Northsix (66 N. Sixth St. at Wythe Avenue) on April 22.

The Brooklyn Lyceum is located at 227 Fourth Ave. at President Street in Park Slope. Tickets are $8 per screening and can be purchased at the Lyceum or on BUFF’s Web site, www.brooklynunderground.org. Tickets to the Northsix concert are $12 at the door. For a complete schedule, visit the Web site.
