2010 Summer Series

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.

A behind the scene look at Ledo and Ix Go to Town, “a sort of eight-bit tribute to Waiting for Godot.”

Due to rain, the screening of Full Frame short films has been rescheduled for Sunday, June 6. All other details remain the same: location, time, etc.

As an outdoor film festival, Rooftop is particularly attuned to the weather. As a self-trained weather expert, we’ve realized mainstream weather coverage is a conspiracy! Come to Rooftop Films even when the weather forecast has a chance of rain!

Jesse Selwyn, grandson and director of “NJ Lady,” talks to Rooftop about why his grandmother is funnier than yours.

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.

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.”
