Always one of our most popular programs, Rooftop Films’ annual New York Non-Fiction show has served as a showcase for new documentaries about the extraordinary lives of “ordinary” New Yorkers for nearly a decade. This year’s films explore the magic in little metropolitan moments and the poetry of the odd job, find humor in exploitative urban institutions and capture the melancholy beauty of the dilapidated underground. Above all, they express in particular what all of us who live in New York know intuitively: in this great city there is always an amazing story waiting around the corner.
This year's show takes place on the roof incredible roof at Open Road Rooftop above New Design High School (pictured below). The roof has been covered with hundreds of gorgeous graffitti murals and features a breathtaking view of the Lower East Side. After the screening all in attendance are invited to head down to Fontana's for an open bar after party to meet the filmmakers
