Convento filmmaker Jarred Alterman is the guest.

Introducing the first version of the official Rooftop Films 2012 Summer Series trailer, presented by AT&T. All this footage was genuinely projected onto the city streets. Rooftop’s got guts and projectors; we don’t have after effects.

This Sunday evening, Rooftop will be co-presenting a special FREE closing night outdoor screening of Jarred Alterman’s magical documentary at the exquisitely beautiful Cellardoor Winery in Maine.

If I had to pick my absolute favorite moment of the Rooftop 2011 Summer Series, I would say that it wasn’t a screening itself. It occurred during the day before a screening…

Jarred Altermann’s film Convento is a fascinating, somewhat bizarre experience which transports the audience to a place where life can be manipulated, reimagined and reanimated.

Rooftop has partnered up with The Awesome Fest to bring Philadelphia an entire summer of completely FREE independent cinema. At Piazza at Schmidt’s, filmmakers, talent, and enthusiasts will come together for outdoor screenings of films direct from SXSW, Tribeca, and Sundance. To inspire the growth of Philly’s independent film community, the Awesome Fest now needs your support.

We met our Kickstarter goal! Thanks everyone. Read here about all the filmmakers, wrestlers, robots, and lesbian space aliens on the Rooftops of New York City.
