Frances

Turns out that you can get a lot more from a film festival than just a film. Get ready, because we’ve got some music for you too. Yes, you already know that we have live bands. But it’s Dan’s playlist that has been growing in notoriety as the opening act to most screenings this summer…

Rooftop Films launched a new “Extend the Summer” fundraising video. We need to raise $5,000 by Wednesday, August 4. If you love what we do, kick in a few bucks to keep it going.

On May 21, 2010, at the Rooftop romantic short films show Hopelessly Devoted, the opening band was Frances, and after they played, Rooftop Founder and Artistic Director Mark Elijah Rosenberg asked Stephanie Skaff, the singer/keyboard player, to marry him.

Julien Bocabeille, director of “Oktopodi,” an animated short about two octopi in love and on the run, speaks to Rooftop Films about making the film and his love of seafood.

Rooftop’s new websites allows you to search for and read about bands and venues, as well as watch music videos and more.
