After this week’s successful screening of Justin Weinstein’s and Tyler Measom’s An Honest Liar from TFF 2014, the audience enjoyed drinks and a live magic show by Vinny DePonto. With live music performances, filmmaker Q&As, themed events and outrageous new venues, we can’t wait for the rest of Rooftop Films’ excellent Summer program.

In addition to buzz-worthy indies like Joe Swanberg’s Happy Christmas and David Zellner’s Kumiko The Treasure Hunter, film fans can look forward to two more screenings of great films from this year’s Festival: Five Star and The One I Love.
