Rooftop Films interviews Shenandoah Ableman of Shenandoah and the Night.

Thursday night rounds off Week 7 of EPIX Movie Free-For-All with “Kick-Ass” and unforgettable live entertainment.

On July 20th, the acclaimed Lebanese film “Caramel”, directed by Nadine Labaki, will screen in Long Island City, Queens. This bittersweet comedy about women, love, friendship, and life in Beirut will be presented entirely for free. Come out to Socrates Sculpture Park with a blanket and ice cream, and get ready to treat yourself to a warm touch of caramel.

This week, the EPIX Movie Free-For-All takes us through adventures both fantastic and dangerous–and its completely free, so the risk is well worth taking.

The wonderful Echotone has been named the winner of Northside Film Fest’s first annual DIY competition. Rooftop is thrilled to be screening this portrait of the live-music scene in Austin.

We had the pleasure of speaking to filmmaker Mikel Cee Karlsson about what it was like working with Jose Gonzalez and what effect the soft spoken super star has on others.

Rooftop Films alum artist/filmmaker/musician Brent Green has a solo gallery show in Chelsea for artwork from his upcoming feature Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then, which will play at Rooftop on June 26.
