Following its New York premiere to a sold-out crowd as the opening-night selection of this year’s BAMcinemaFest, Sleepwalk with Me returns by popular demand. This hilarious and poignant autobiographical film stars Birbiglia as a bartender at a Park Slope comedy club who moves in with his long-term girlfriend (Ambrose). Struggling with his relationship and his stand-up career, he also battles an extreme form of sleepwalking where he acts out his dreams—even going so far as to throw himself out of a second story window. Both earnest and surreal, this bitterwseet ciné-memoir won an audience award at Sundance and was a selection at SXSW. Features appearances by comics Kristen Schaal, David Wain, Marc Maron, Wyatt Cenac, and more.
