Napoleon Dynamite: 20th Anniversary Celebration

Jared Hess | 2004 | US | 96 mins

Searchlight Pictures and Rooftop Films present a special 20th anniversary celebration of the cult classic debut by Jared Hess atop the roof of an NYC high school. From the rural town of Preston, Idaho, comes Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder). With a red 'fro, his moon boots, and illegal government ninja moves, he is a new kind of hero. When his friend Pedro (Efren Ramirez) decides to run for class president, it is Napoleon to the rescue to help him triumph over adversity. Presented as part of Searchlight Pictures 30th Anniversary Celebration.

FAQs

How will it work?

Using your RSVP, our team will check in all patrons by last name at the entrance.

How do I get there?

Subway: take the R to the Unions St. station or take the G or F trains to the Carroll St. station. Bus: take the B37 or B103 to 3 Av/3 St. If you are driving you will need to find street parking.

Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?

Rooftop Films are open to all ages, but ID and proof of age is required for entry. You must be 21+ to attend the after party.

Do I need to bring a chair?

Chairs will be provided so no need to bring your own!

Can I bring food and drinks?

No outside alcoholic beverages are allowed. Feel free to bring snacks and non-alcoholic beverages! No glass on the roof, please!

Can I wear heels?

Sorry, but on the roof we ask that you don't wear stiletto heels as it's a soft roof. You are allowed to wear pointy heels in the Courtyard and we provide flip flops if needed.

How accessible is this venue?

There will be a few flights of stairs to climb up to the roof. If you would like to attend this event but have an ADA need, we can provide a freight elevator. There is one step that will be unavoidable in stepping onto the roof. Our courtyard seating (available at select events) is entirely accessible.

Organized by

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.
