Rooftop alum film Burning in the Sun is up for a $20,000 prize, but you have to vote today!

On July 29 at Rooftop, the filmmaking fabulist Nieto performed a fantastic experiment before a thrilled (albeit mildly frightened) audience. Nieto wowed the crowd by making a deceased chicken dance with just a few 220 volt electro shocks. Watch!

Rooftop Films launched a new “Extend the Summer” fundraising video. We need to raise $5,000 by Wednesday, August 4. If you love what we do, kick in a few bucks to keep it going.

Personally, I’m a pretty big sports fan. I love the grace, the passion, the intensity, the drama. But the business side of sport can be pretty ugly. Rooftop filmmaking alum Casimir Nozkowski and The Internets Celebrities have made a funny documentary about the new New York stadiums.

This doesn’t have much to do with Rooftop 2010, but, man, is it funny. A hilarious relatively-recent new literal video.

Watch as Jen Kirkman exposes the dark secrets of our first president…after drinking a bottle and a half of wine.

Dr. Dante (aka Mr. Hypnotism) says, “I was a conman. I was a good conman. I say what people want to hear, just like all conmen do.”

I remember my grandma fondly. She was sweet and caring, but a prickly old lady at times. But she was never this damn funny…

Watch an animated documentary that celebrates the greatest athletic achievement ever by a man on a psychedelic journey. Kids, don’t try this at home.

The film consists entirely of objects, and yet it’s surprisingly touching, revealing the character behind it and all the moments, people and places that make up a life. Because of the visual detail, if you saw this film at Rooftop, it’s worth a second, slower look in full screen mode.
