Talk about your Canadian content, eh? It's time to head for the border!
Thursday night, Rooftop Films makes its way to Montreal, and oh, how the cinetrix wishes she could be there.
Since the screening will be taking place in a garden on an urban
rooftop, we have put together a program of films that feature novel
perspectives on contemporary environmental issues. But though the
program is socially and environmentally conscious, it is first and
foremost fun, and though it will include serious personal
documentaries, it will also feature wild and hilarious animation,
extraordinary experimental installations, shirtless men running through
rainforests, ducklings jumping out of trees, frogs being flushed down
toilets, buildings built like bugs, robots conquering the world, babies
blowing up the world, and existential declarations by francophone
crabs. This will be our first screening on a roof in a foreign land,
and we couldn't be more excited about it.
