More guest stars to come, keep your eyes on this one. Joining the showcase will be Baumbach himself, plus co-writer Bo Berkman and cast members Carlos Jacott and Whit Stillman staple Chris Eigeman. The ' Greenberg' director's first movie centers on a group of fresh graduates as they figure out how to operate life as adults without school. Spooky! A biting satire which critiques the Americanization of Italy, the ' Germany Year Zero' director's once-lost project has been newly restored and is definitely worth checking out.Ī more recent film that's part of the special events is Noah Baumbach's seminal ' Kicking and Screaming,' a debut that is uniformly hilarious and likely the prognosticator of the entire micro-budget post-college malaise scene. A magical comedy from a director firmly grounded in neo-realist roots, 'Machine' focuses on a man whose camera murders anyone it manages to snap.

So, what're you New Yorkers up to this June? BAMcinématek hopes you'll be spending the last two weeks with them: the fourth annual BAMcinemaFest runs June 20 – July 1 and has the strongest lineup yet, including some 2012 festival favorites and sweet surprises.Ĭinephiles will be pleased to know that Roberto Rosellini's recently discovered ' The Machine That Kills Bad People,' which premiered at Cannes last year, will make its American landing in Brooklyn.
