Of course, there's a down side of the "good old" days—the 6am to 10pm shift, 7 days a week, slinging the same meals year after year.

Fan: A Love Story (Lori Samuel, 5:00)

Every Boy I’ve Fucked (Jennifer Matotek | Oakville, Ontario | 8:00)
On the eve of her bachelorette party, Rooftop alum Jennifer Matotek (Cats and Pants 6/18/04) provides her footnoted sexual history.

A pseudo home movie in which the filmmaker recounts a magical day from his youth when, while on a carnival ride, he witnessed, for a fleeting instant, a man doing the impossible.

Yoga Deathmatch (Jim Munroe | Toronto, ON | 4:27)
Courtesy of No Media Kings. Check out how Jim Munroe rolls out the machinema (animation made using video games) in the 21st century.

Premiere: Sunday, March 25, 2007, 9:00 PM

Who I Am and What I Want (Chris Shepherd & David Shrigley | United Kingdom | 7:30)

Courtesy of Slinky Pics
It's good to be honest about yourself ("I suffered from mental illness"), to admit your faults ("some of the things I did were wrong and evil") and proclaim your desires ("I want to be dressed as a lion and be put in a cage with the clowns.") That way you will know your place in society ("My name is muck, but you can call me Pete").

The Loneliest Probe (zZalgern0n | Glendale, CA | 2:53)

Clyde: A Tough Guy (Mans Mansson | Brooklyn, NY | 5:00)
Mans Mansson came to Williamsburg from Sweden in the late 90s as part of the influx of artists streaming into Brooklyn looking for affordable housing and studio space. But instead of merely surrounding himself with other artists, Mans set out to explore the communities all around him, investigating the various ethnic groups and embracing the diversity of Brooklyn. In Clyde, Mans beautifully captures moments in the life of a homeless Bushwick man and records his poetic observations about life and loss.

Face (Jong Min Kim | South Korea & New York, NY | 4:00)
By accentuating the everyday personalities trudging down 42nd Street, Jong Min Kim taps into the true beauty of the Times Square billboards.

The Light (Brian Doyle | Brooklyn, NY | 10:00)

EPISODE 9 - ROMANCE
Premiere: March 8, 2006

The Romantic Version (Darren Morey | Seattle, WA | 7:40)
There are times when love comes so easily, you take it for granted. In this home movie, a young couple tells the story of their spark and their flameout. Now, cuddling and joking in a noisy bar, they're back together after years apart, and their passion is clear. But that presents a couple new problems.

Communications Factory (Jen Sachs | Los Angeles, CA | 6:30)
The irony of our modern communication technology is that in a world of cell phones and email, face to face interactions are becoming a thing of the past. At the communications factory, one man creates a new, more basic use for a microchip, refracting a rainbow of light as a romantic beacon.

Heartbreaker (Mark Elijah Rosenberg | Brooklyn, NY | 2:30)
Memories of a girl, a wishing well, the lights of Chung King Road, Los Angeles, from the nights when we didn't communicate, but wandered and watched sharing a wish without knowing it. "I know not, and I ask not, if guilt's in thy heart. I but know that I love thee, whatever thou art." Music by Lucky Dragons.

Duncan (Holly Klein | London, England | 3:00)
With Gumby and Pokie-like nonchalance our animated protagonists rhyme their way through a grade school episode of getting the hots for someone as geeky as you. And then it gets kinda randy.

Between You and Me (Patrick Rebisz | Queens, NY | 4:28)
Made by editing together hundreds of shots with a simple still camera, Between You and Me tells the classic boy meets girl story in a creative new way that suits our digital age.

EPISODE 8 - TIME AND MOTION
Premiere: February 22, 2006

Ablution (Eric Patrick | Greensboro, NC | 12:30)
A stunningly beautiful film, which makes use of painstaking stop-motion photography and hand-printing, about a man whose life is washing away in time.

The Perpetual Life of Jim Albers (Matt Goldman | Brooklyn, NY | 12:13)
Mr. Albers is looking to locate himself in reality, because the workaday one he's trapped in is painfully overloaded with dizzying effects, brilliant sound design and an amazing array of useless scientific facts.

Security Anthem (Kent Lambert | Chicago, IL | 3:30)
A series of people, holdovers of mid-80s mall culture, tell a disjointed tale in which everything from knives to carrots takes on an aura of threat. Lambert's (Condensed Movie #1, 7/11/03) clever, abrupt editing weaves an anthem of anxiety and destruction.


EPISODE 7 - ANIMALS OUT OF PLACE
Premiere: February 15, 2006

Frog (Christopher Conforti | New York, NY | 3:54)

Where Have All the Insects Gone? (Lee Kern | UK | 3:00)
Utilizing his inimitable first-person voice-over, Lee tells the tale of an insect massacre that took place in the suburbs north of London in the late '80s. As Lee puts it, the film "is shot on DV cam and edited at home, and shows once again that even schmucks can make telly and piss away a budget on doughnuts and lobster."

Marvelous Creatures (Wago Kreider | Brooklyn, NY | 4:00)
In this dazzling display of dislocating editing, Elvis grows horns, Marilyn Monroe is bear-ied and a guy crashes a kiss into a woman's fence.

Call of the Wild (Julia Sarcone-Roach | Brooklyn, NY | 8:00)
A hallucinogenic menagerie of flying cats and line-dancing bats populate the brilliantly colorful imagination of this RISD animator. Sarcone-Roach creates a Dr. Seussian zoo hopped up on goofballs going about their business and making prank calls, too.


EPISODE 6 - WHERE YOU LIVE AND HOW YOU LIVE
Premiere: February 8, 2006

My Back Garden (Lee Kern | UK | 3:00)
A very driven dog embarks on a mission to discover all the long-buried contents hidden deep beneath a typical British backyard. Instead of stopping the dog, the filmmaker comes to appreciate his pooch's efforts as he slowly realizes how many good plastic men and monkeys he left behind so long ago.

Pursesnatcher 2000 (Jonny Kaye | Sweden | 2:43)
Jonny Kaye tracks down a fleeing purse-snatcher with his one-chip camera and gets a brief glimpse into the mind of an unambitious thief who is something less than a criminal mastermind. Bon apetit, indeed!

Found Artist: Gary Crom (Curtis Craven | Austin, TX | 8:30)
Outsider artist Gary Crom sculpts the dead into crazy, clever, visually vibrant art.

The Bear Hunter (Mary Robertson | Brooklyn, NY | 12:00)
The story of a deer hunter who has never shot a bear in all his 45 years of hunting, but has always wanted to, as he says, "Bears are once in a lifetime." When he finally does, though, his reaction is surprisingly melancholy.

The captivating, hilarious, and surprising story of a domicile's demolition as told from the perspective of a few planks of wood.

Filibuster (Matt Lenski | New York, NY | 1:00)
Richard Simmons and a battalion of fatties sweat to the oldies. By oldies, we mean a Sonic Youth song from the early nineties.

The Beautiful and the Fine (Rob Tyler, Adrienne Leverette & Eric Schopmeyer | Portland, OR | 9:20)
Mike Wilder says that if you cut off a leaf from a Drosera Nitidula, lay it in the soil, and give it water and light, an exact clone of the original plant will grow back in its place. In this way is our world amazing and unique. The Portland, Oregon film collective Archipelago returns to Rooftop (A Thing Of Wonder, 6/18/04) with a stunning documentary about a passionate and thoughtful bio-collector.

Wipersync (Jamie O'Neill | Buffalo, NY | 3:47)
A bizarre rumination on coincidental synchronicity in which Jamie poses as a "Dale Carnegie type" named Kurt Weibers as part of his "Global Point Strategies" project, which we will venture to say is a satire of corporate motivational speakers who masquerade as philosophers, in this case by "presenting a non-human centered approach to creativity production."

Cats and Pants (Jennifer Matotek | Oakville, Ontario | 1:05)
Sure, it seems simple. But which is which?

Moonraker (Fran Krause | New York, NY | 3:00)
Courtesy of Square Footage Films
Another beautiful and mysteriously amusing short from Fran Krause (Mr. Smile, Rooftop 7/23/04) about a content but lonely astronaut stranded on a haunted moon. This is a startlingly funny and poignant film about exploration, honing in on how humanity affects the universe with our seemingly harmless intrepid investigations. The moon is watching.

Devil's Teeth (Roger Teich | San Francisco, CA | 8:30)
A Rooftop Films co-production
A film about Ron Elliot, the only sea urchin diver who works the Farallon Islands, even though he regularly encounters enormous sharks. With a grant from the Rooftop Filmmakers' Fund, Roger Teich constructed an underwater helmet camera using a black and white surveillance video lens and cable so Ron can use his hands freely while the footage records the eerie underwater world, at the margins of grace and terror.


EPISODE 3 - DREAM
Premiere: January 11, 2006

Handgun (Sam Crees and Alex Minnick | Brooklyn, NY | 1:00)

A sobering animated expose about how Mad Cow Disease is now killing dolphins. Via karate.

Marvelous, Keen Loony Bin (Lizzi Akana | Berkeley, CA | 5:37)
Balloon brained monkeys dodge dangling cacti, a babbling bagel gets bashed, and a defaced female lipstick traces her own visage in this beautiful and surreal exploration of identity.

Dream Lover Fondue (Trixy Sweetvittles | Burbank, CA | 6:00)
Sometimes you go looking for love, and find ghostly hot dogs, lollipops and flowers. This is a new film about nostalgia, using found footage and fanciful effects.

EPISODE 2 - HOME MOVIES
Premiere: January 4, 2006

My Father's Lunch (Tony Mendoza | Columbus, OH | 7:20)
Tonys father proves that you can stake a claim to individuality by doing the same thing every day for 25 years. Some of the great moments in videography come about when you set off to record a ritual that hasn't changed in decades only to find that you have recorded an epochal shift and that nothing will ever be as it was. And then you have to go to McDonalds.

A Bad Hair Day (Meesoo Lee | Vancouver, Canada | 7:00)
The director of Rooftop favorites Anxiety, Procrastination, Home Movie, A Good Philosophy and Pop Song 1, travels with his parents (and his video camera) back to their native Korea, where his father, wearing hair rollers and a pink perm cap, beseeches his son to get a haircut.

9/20/04 (Brandon Walley | Detroit, MI | 6:00)
A heartbreaking and heartwarming home movie about a man who was reluctant to be a father, but didn't expect how profoundly he'd be changed by his daughter Quinn.

Elijah & Batman (Christof Gelfand | Brooklyn, NY | 01:30)
Some people carry their cameras with them everywhere, and have a knack for capturing brief moments that illuminate the essence of the people on screen. In the process, Christoph Gelfand shapes for the viewer the intricate relationships between his subjects and himself. (It keeps things interesting if youve got cute kids to play with, too.)

Taperecording (Benning Purren | Capetown, South Africa | 6:00)

Financial Advice (Fritz Donnelly | New York | 5:00)
The Wall Street Journal never tells it like it is. But alone in his apartment, Fritz breaks down all you need to know about taking stock of your assets, inventorying your friends, and hiding your cash in your closet.

Pay Roll (Noah Klersfeld, 13:00)
Is it for real? Is it fake? Is this the mother of all multi-camera action sequences or the insane inner monolog of an archetypal director who wishes he controlled it all?
