Rooftop Films has worked with Animation Block Party since 2006, co-hosting more than a dozen screenings and drawing huge, enthusiastic crowds to some of the most popular independent animation events in New York City for almost two decades. Rooftop and ABP have showcased some of the best animated films in the world in that time, which is why we are especially excited to celebrate the official start of summer on Friday, June 21st, with an exclusive Animation Block Party alumni showcase. Animation Block alumni include Academy Award nominees, Sundance winners, hit television show-creators, independent filmmakers, commercial producers, and animators from Cartoon Network, Disney, Netflix and more.
The Animation Block Party festival will run this September 20-22 in Brooklyn.

Organizer Rooftop Films
Organizer of Rooftop Films | Animation Block Party
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.
