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.
Thursday, September 14, 2006
8:30PM- Live Music by PG6 | 9PM: Showtime
On the roof of Downtown Community Television (DCTV) 87 Lafayette,
Tribeca, Manhattan
Tickets are $8, and available online or at the door of the event

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.
Friday, September 16, 2006
On the lawn at Automotive High School, 50 Bedford Ave, Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
8:30PM: Live Music by subway musicians from the film | 9PM: Showtime
Tickets $8 online or at the door.

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. This film was screened at Rooftop in 2002, and as part of our 10th anniversary, we are thrilled to be reviving this brilliant and little-known documentary.
