Music

Live music is an integral part of the Rooftop Films experience. Alongside our films, we highlight a wide spectrum of music, sound, and performance styles with upwards of 50 performances by both emerging and established artists from all over the world.

Rooftop Films screens a wide variety of films from all over the world and we always try to match the music with the appropriate films. That said, we showcase musicians working in any and all genres: rock, blues, country, metal, R&B, world, folk, electronic, punk, jazz, latin, hip-hop, experimental— you name it. There is nothing like performing your music on a rooftop with the sun setting in the distance and your image projected on a big screen behind you.
