For a fourth year, Rooftop is pleased to collaborate with IFP on screenings and forum activities during Independent Film Week (Sept. 19-23).

Surpassing expectations, The Godfather: Part II became one of the most acclaimed motion pictures ever made, winning six Academy Awards. On August 27th, you can see it for free on a rooftop right by the neighborhood where it all took place.

Are you a studying film, arts administration or nonprofit management, and looking for the kind industry experience that will help you get a job you actually want when you graduate? Then Rooftop Films is looking for you.
