Rooftop Films: Our Last Four Shows of our Summer Series 2006!

***

Bata-Ville: We Are Not Afraid of the Future

Bata-Ville is a feature-length documentary by Karen Guthrie and Nina Pope. This fascinating and charming film is part road trip documentary, part ideological exploration. At Rooftop Films we never imagined a bus-trip across Europe with a group of retired shoe-factory workers would be so enjoyable.

Downtown Locals

Downtown Locals, a feature-length documentary by Rory and Robin Muir, is a funny yet poignant glimpse underground, into the lives of six disparate New York City subway buskers. Downtown Locals illustrates brilliantly the microcosm of the true underground by drawing us into the lives of a few of New York City's less celebrated characters.

What is Paper Mache?

What is Paper Mache? is a feature-length documeentary by Jesse Malings, in which a teenager with a virgin/vixen complex brings a troubled older stranger to the prom.
