Announcing the 2010 Animation Block Party Opening Night Line-up, at Rooftop Films on July 30th.

What if mankind’s greatest predators were just big five-eyed blue puppy dogs looking to play? Would we still try to zap them? This adorable and energetic animated film by Jake Armstrong is a ton of fun, and also speaks to humanity’s wild daring and laughably bold ignorance.

This film scares the guts out of me.

Rooftop Films speaks to director Johannes Nyholm about the fine line between dreams and reality. See his shadow puppet animation TONIGHT at Rooftop Films “Dark ‘Toons.”

Rooftop Films spoke with Camillevis Thery about metaphysics and the communicative power of a simple line. See his short film “Inukshuk” TONIGHT at our “Dark ‘Toons” show.

Directors Max Joseph and Chris Weller talk about their film “Let’s Harvest the Organs of Death Row Inmates,” a funny and provocative new take on the death penalty.

Rooftop Films spoke to the director of “The Surprise Demise of Francis Cooper’s Mother,” part of our “Dark Toons” program, about why being self-centered around death sometimes makes sense.

Rooftop Films speaks with Jake Armstrong, director of “The Terrible Thing of Alpha-9,” a funny and heartbreaking sci-fi animation and part of our Dark Toons program on May 28th.
