Rooftop Film Festival

The Rooftop Film Festival was started by film maker Mark Elijah Rosenberg in July 1997. It started when Mark got his 16mm projector and started showing movies on his roof top.

Rooftop Films is a non-profit film festival that has been screening independent films since 1997. RTF is very famous for their annual Summer Series, a summer-long outdoor film festival that features more than 35 screenings each year. All of the summer screenings take place in stunning outdoor locations—either on rooftop or in parks, along piers, or in other scenic outdoor locations all over New York City (and occasionally beyond).

This has also inspired many other RoofTop Film clubs all over the world.
