PROGRAM NOTES:
In 2008, Rooftop Films received over 2,000 film submissions, and
screened 20 feature-length films and over 130 short films. We
showed films from 33 different countries, in every imaginable
genre—documentaries, narratives, animations, experimental
films, music videos, home movies and more.
There were films by first-time filmmakers, and by experienced
masters (including rarely-seen works by Salvadore Dali, for which
we commissioned an original live score). There was an animation
about a fire-fighting dog and a documentary about birds who make
the skies safe for airplanes. There was a film about a Nobel Peace
Prize nominee, and a film about a furtive kleptomaniac. We began
the year with a wordless film about kids in Turkey relishing the
magic of cinema, and conclude with a program that celebrates the
most magical short films of 2008.
The films in this show will be selected from the hidden gems, big
hits and fan favorites. If you loved a certain film and want to see
it again, or heard great things about a film you want a second
chance to see, visit
www.rooftopfilms.bside.com/2008/fi... and vote for the films you want see in this program.
Specific films will be announced in September.
Thanks for coming out to Rooftop Films 2008 Summer Series. We'll
see you on the roof in 2009!
