Rooftop Films returns to the Up North for three very cool shows on a roof in Yorkville Toronto as an official part of Hot Docs 2010. Hot Docs has been screening the many of the greatest documentaries in the world since 1993 and is the biggest documentary festival in North America. Their programming is impeccable and we are all very flattered to have been asked to bring our crew up to Toronto to co-present three shows over the top tier of the Citipark Cumberland Garage in downtown Toronto’s Bloor-Yorkville neighborhood. Just as with our screenings in New York there will be live bands performing before each film program and there will be a reception afterwards where the audience can meet the filmmakers.

The screenings will run from Thursday night, May 6 to Saturday, May 8, and we will be offering locally brewed pilsner courtesy of Steamwhistle Breweries and free popcorn courtesy of Whole Foods Market. Rooftop Docs will feature Hot Docs titles THE PARKING LOT MOVIE (fitting for a screening on top of a parking lot) on Thursday, May 6, SXSW winner MARWENCOL on Friday, May 7, and a program of festival shorts on Saturday, May 8. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m. with live music and bar service starting at 8:00 p.m. Screenings will begin at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are now available!
