This just in: Watching movies on rooftops is fun! Tonight (Friday, June 15), you can go hang out on a rooftop in the Lower East Side and watch a bunch of cool short films about New York City, including a performance vid of Sonic Youth playing one of the very last shows at CBGB before it closed and reopened as a cheesy-ass tourist store on St. Mark’s Place and parts 1 and 2 of VBS.tv’s very own Toxic Brooklyn documentary series. And then on Saturday night they’ll be showing Toxic Brooklyn parts 4 and 5 in Park Slope, on the roof of The Old American Can Factory, along with an adorable short film about gerbils. It’s all part of this Rooftop Films summer film festival thingy and they have so many events and so much info on their website, you might as well go there to find out about all the films and the after-parties and the before-parties and so on. Tip: Bring a date! Good movies plus good roof equals a recipe for luuuuv (free booze at the after-party helps too).
Movies on a Rooftop sounds great but I thought the place was toxic? What are you supposed to breathe stretched out atop a centuries old industrial rooftop?
