Eighteen films will be shown in BAMCINEMAFEST, a new festival of independent films, many of them Brooklyn based, that begins Wednesday and continues through July 2 at BAM Rose Cinemas. Wednesday’s opening night selection, “Don’t Let Me Drown” (the directorial debut of Cruz Angeles), is a neo-realist-style love story filmed in Brooklyn. Its Latino sweethearts, Lalo (E. J. Bonilla), an American-born Mexican, and Stephanie (Gleendilys Inoa), a third-generation Dominican, are struggling to make sense of their lives in the wake of 9/11. It has been compared to “Raising Victor Vargas.”

Brooklyn’s Newest Other selections include “Beeswax” (June 21), an indie legal thriller by Andrew Bujalski, the director of “Mutual Appreciation,” and “Big Fan,” (Friday and June 22), a black comedy about a sports fanatic, directed by Robert Siegel, who wrote “The Wrestler.” “Bronson” (June 21) is a portrait of an imprisoned bare-knuckle boxer by Nicolas Winding Refn, who directed “The Pusher Trilogy.” In Bradley Rust Gray’s film “The Exploding Girl” (June 25), a hit at the Tribeca Film Festival, Zoe Kazan gives a luminous portrayal of a dewy college girl whose developing bond with a childhood friend may turn into more. Lynn Shelton’s comedy “Humpday” (Saturday and June 21), a hit at Sundance, takes the Judd Apatow aesthetic a step further in a story of two straight male buddies who, on a dare, agree to have sex and film it. Promise abounds. BAM Rose Cinemas, Brooklyn Academy of Music, 30 Lafayette Avenue, at Ashland Place, Fort Greene, (718) 636-4100, bam.org; $11.
