Hide from the cold this weekend and have a look at what Rooftop alums have to offer!

BAMcinemafast starts this Thursday with a special screening of the wonderful film Weekend. BAM will be showing a series of fantastic films throughout the summer including a screening of The Catechism Cataclysm this Saturday in partnership with Rooftop Films!

I rounded out my Sundance trip with two days packed with screenings and one day of typically miserable winter air travel. I’ll spare you the sad details of my flight problems, and start with some observations:

Rooftop alum Todd Rohal’sThe Catechism Cataclysm follows the storyline of your typical road-trip movie. On a boat. With a priest. Who’s obsessed with bad heavy metal music.

I’m not usually a fan of “Midnight Movies”—horror, camp, sci-fi, B-movies, etc.—but three nights in a row I’ve loved Sundance’s 12am screenings at the Egyptian Theater.

My reflections on Sundance hotel room cable movie watching, my friend Todd Rohal’s hilarious film The Catechism Cataclysm and whether or not the party will, in fact, be cool.

Why Sundance forced me to go back on my vow never to fly Southwest Airlines, my happiest moment of 1/20/11, courtesy of Patton Oswalt, and why the PARTY WILL NOT BE COOL.

This week marks the start of the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Join Rooftop Films and our funny, charming alumni-in-attendance as they give you a behind-the-scenes look into the Prom of the Indie Film world.

The 2011 Sundance line-up features 25 Rooftop Alums, more than ever before. Meet the Sundance stars of tomorrow: Buy a Rooftop Films Membership today.

Todd Rohal is one of Rooftop’s favorite filmmakers, one of the most original cinematic minds out there today. You have now been given the opportunity to help his long-awaited next feature, The Catechism Cataclysm.
