For more than three decades, Rooftop Films has been a launchpad for the boldest independent filmmakers—many of whom have gone on to make their mark far beyond our nights under the stars.
Join the ranks of all those who’ve helped shape our 30-year history, and submit your feature or short for 2027 Summer Series consideration today! Head to rooftopfilms.com/submit to get started.
The inaugural Rooftop Treasure Hunt will send participants on a citywide quest through our 30-year history—and, now, we’re incredibly excited to reveal what’s waiting at the finish line: a $5k grand prize for the fastest team to complete the adventure!

Along the way, you’ll encounter filmmakers, Rooftop staff, and other treasures—with access to a top-secret event awaiting those who make it to the end in time.
It’s part puzzle hunt, part Rooftop-themed odyssey, part extremely elaborate excuse to spend a weekend running around the city like it’s all one big movie set and you’re the star.
Ready to play? Consider this your first clue: get your tickets now, via tinyurl.com/RooftopTreasureH….

For the grand finale of Rooftop’s 30th season, seven bold new short films take on love, loss, ambition, identity, and the strange, exhilarating business of being human. After three decades, there’s only one thing left to do: celebrate.
