Rooftop Films | Language Lessons

At Rooftop Films we believe film can be so much more than just watching a movie, so we curate unique events that combine great music, quality film, and some of the most beautiful locations that New York has to offer. By thinking beyond the screen, we help to bring communities together and change the way that film, music, art, and ideas interact with the city around us.Rooftop Films’ mission is to engage and inspire diverse communities by showing movies in outdoor locations, supporting the production of new independent films, helping local organizations to produce screenings and events, and renting equipment at low-cost to artists and nonprofits. Rooftop Films is more than a film festival. We are a community. We are a collective collaboration between filmmakers and festivals; between audience members and artists; between venues and neighborhoods. Our goal is to nurture a vibrant independent filmmaking and film-going community not only by exhibiting the work of emerging filmmakers, but also by providing essential support systems for those who otherwise have none.

When Adam's (Mark Duplass) husband surprises him with weekly Spanish lessons, he's unsure about where or how this new element will fit into his already structured life. But when tragedy strikes, his Spanish teacher, Cariño (Natalie Morales), becomes a lifeline he didn’t know he needed. Adam develops an unexpected and complicated emotional bond with Cariño—but do you really know someone just because you’ve experienced a traumatic moment with them? Bittersweet, honest, and at times darkly funny, Language Lessons is a disarmingly moving exploration of platonic love. Courtesy of Shout! Studios and Duplass Brothers Productions. Laura, Carlton &amp; the Tijuana Bulls Michael Barth, Bobby Moser &amp; Gia Rigoli | US, Mexico | 11 minsA conventional tourist couple from the American South have an unconventional holiday when they attend a bullfight in Tijuana, Mexico..........................................PERFORMERPsymon SpineFusing psychedelic pop and the deep grooves of dance music, Brooklyn experimental pop outﬁt Psymon Spine’s music is oozing with approachable melodic hugeness on ﬁrst contact—but the places these guys take their songs is truly out there, exploring complicated feelings and catharsis through a singular approach to left-of-center electronic and dance sounds.Psymon Spine's origins date back to core members Noah Prebish and Peter Spears meeting in college and finding common ground ㏌ their artistic aims: "We wanted to make something that was experimental, but also accessible and satisfying," Prebish states while discussing the thrust of the band's origins, citing ㏌fluences like Talking Heads and Os Mutantes along with the rush of the NYC dance scene. Eventually, keyboardist/producer Brother Michael joined Psymon Spine, as the trio hashed out the demos for what would become their debut, 2017's You Are Coming to My Birthday. Prebish's work ㏌ buzz-making dream-pop band Barrie led him to meet singer and multi-instrumentalist Sabine Holler, who eventually joined Psymon Spine's ranks after they both parted ways with the rest of Barrie.Embracing and exploring left-ﬁeld electronic sounds ranging from disco's high-energy rhythmic breakdowns to the upward build of early techno and motorik's indelibly incessant pulse. Psymon Spine put their own loopy and addictive stamp on the sounds of the past throughout, with surprises at every turn and the type of lush synth work that could only come from such brilliant students of dance music..........................................NO REFUNDS.
