Film Screening

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

Time to get your space nerd on.

It’s been an exciting few months for our Filmmakers’ Fund Grantees. Join us in doing a little dance for them.

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.

Our picks for the three films that will get you through this soggy first weekend of fall.

For a happy fifth year, Rooftop is excited to once again partner with IFP to bring exciting outdoor events to Independent Film Week.

If you’re looking for great eclectic films by local filmmakers, look no further than The Filmwax Film Series, a Brooklyn-based film series founded and programmed by our friend Adam Schartoff. We have to say, we like his taste, especially considering all the Rooftop Alums he’s got going on.

Don’t miss this EPIX screening of Roman Polanski’s seminal horror movie Rosemary’s Baby, this Thursday in Tompkins Square Park.

On August 17th, “Biutiful” will screen in Long Island City, Queens. Javier Bardem gives a tour de force performance as Uxbal, a Barcelona man who operates on the wrong side of the law while trying to provide for his two young children. Take the journey through the rougher corridors of life, and find redemption in bright, bad, biutiful love, entirely for free and only at EPIX Movie Free-For-All .

On August 10 Rooftop is screening the stunning documentary, ‘At The Edge of Russia.’.The film follows six soldiers stationed in one of Russia’s furthest northern outposts. We spoke to director Michal Marczak about realising the film and found out what it’s like to live and work at -40 degrees.
