BAMcinemaFest Announces Lineup for 4th Annual Fest, Kicking Off June 20

BAMcinématek announced its schedule for the fourth annual BAMcinemaFest, running June 20 - July 1. In addition to the lineup that includes 22 features (among them "Beasts of the Southern Wild," "Sleepwalk with Me," "Francine," "The Comedy" and "Detropia") -- of which seven are NY premieres, one North American premiere and three world premieres -- the fest will host three shorts programs. The feature lineup is below. Here's more details and the complete lineup.

Noah Baumbach’s directorial debut, "Kicking and Screaming" will screen with the director, writer and cast present, Roberto Rossellini's newly restored "The Machine That Kills Bad People" will have its North American debut (after screening last year at Cannes), and live performances from the likes of Simeon Coxe of the Silver Apples, Sam Prekop and Archer Prewitt of The Sea and Cake will be featured. Lotte Reiniger's homage to "The Arabian Nights" -- "The Adventures of Prince Achmed" -- will close the festival with live accompaniment by Irish rock group 3epkano.
