Support Rooftop Films

At Rooftop Films, we believe film, music, art, and culture are meant to be shared. There are more ways to consume media than ever before, but the lasting memories are the ones that occur communally, in an environment that encourages interaction, discussion, and shared, vibrant, emotionally rich experiences. Just as you can rely on Rooftop to bring the best new independent films in the world right to your neighborhood, we rely on your support to maintain the quality and accessibility of our programs.

Unique Venues

For Filmmakers

Rooftop Films is more than a film festival—we are a film community. When a filmmaker is selected to screen with us, they become part of that community forever. From then on, we'll support that film and filmmaker in every way we can.
