ROOFTOP FILMS: Rooftop Shots (Closing Night)
Event Information
Description
Online sales are now closed. Courtyard tickets will be available at the door for $15. Box office opens at 7:30pm.
CLOSING NIGHT! Rooftop concludes our 19th year with stunning short films about saying goodbye. All good things must come to an end. Teen friendships end in a dare, adult relationships dissolve in resignation, the love of a bumblebee and a monkey burns out in flames. You might jump off a cliff, disappear into the desert, or fight to the death, because endings bring out powerful emotions and evocative actions. So at Rooftop Films, we close out our year with a program of sweet, silly and somber stories of people saying, “So long.” . . . We’ll see you next year!
FILMS: Kukka & Hauta (Tomi Malkki*); Sleeping Giant (Andrew Cividino); Sleepers' Beat (Anastasia Kirillova); We Will Stay In Touch About It (Jan Zabeil); Bloedhond (Mees Peijnenburg); Last Base (Aslak Danbolt); Le Mal du Citron (Jeremy Rosenstein & Kaspar Schiltknecht); Blobby (Laura Stewart).
