Brazilian Film "Bittersweet Rain" Makes It’s US Premiere

Featuring World Premieres of Young Gun, Sage, Hairpiece and more

The 16th Annual Bushwick Film Festival (BFF) is set to kick off next Wednesday, marking its 16th anniversary with an exciting lineup of films that embody the theme of "Sweet Sixteen."

As the festival unfolds, audiences will embark on cinematic journeys that delve into the profound nuances of coming-of-age, self-realization, and the search for autonomy. While turning 16 traditionally symbolizes growth and exploration, the festival reminds us that transformative moments can happen at any age. This year, BFF invites audiences to reflect on their own stories and defining experiences, as our carefully curated films shine a spotlight on pivotal narratives that reveal tales of change, self-discovery, and transitions into new phases of life.

With over 125+ films chosen this year from over 1000+ submissions, there are a handful of films that will be premiering for the first time at this year’s Bushwick Film Festival.

The critically acclaimed Brazilian film, Bittersweet Rain (Saudade Fez Morada Aqui Dentro), will be making its highly anticipated US premiere on the final day of the festival, Sunday, October 29th.

The narrative feature film, Young Gun, will also be making its world premiere at the festival on Saturday, October 28th.

The festival will be housing the world premiers of The Foreign Patriot, Q Train, Little Boxes, Sage, Hairpiece, Bushwick Jodi, The North American Premiere of Webseries Monologue, and the New York Premieres of A Real One, Andrew After Angola and Beat, to name a few.
