Rooftop Films June 19-20


In case you're not doing anything this weekend (i.e. coming to my birthday party...all Out 1 readers are invited...contact me for details), here is the schedule for another great looking weekend for Rooftop Films.

This Friday, June 19th, at 8 PM we will be holding a screening of Winnebago Man in the Lower East Side:

Jack Rebney is the most famous man you've never heard of—after cursing his
way through a Winnebago sales video, Rebney’s outrageously funny outtakes
became an underground sensation and made him an internet superstar.
Filmmaker Ben Steinbauer sets out to find the recluse who unwittingly
became the “Winnebago Man." This hilarious and charming film begins as an
exploration of pseudo-celebrity and viral culture, and becomes a
surprisingly poignant journey for the filmmaker, subject and audience.

On Saturday, June 20th, at 8 PM we will be screening New Muslim Cool on
the roof of El Museo del Barrio:

Puerto Rican American rapper Hamza PĂ©rez ended his life as a drug dealer
12 years ago, and started down a new path as a young Muslim. Now he’s
moved to Pittsburgh’s tough North Side to start a new religious community,
rebuild his shattered family, and take his message of faith to other young
people through his uncompromising music as part of the hip-hop duo M-Team.
But when the FBI raids his mosque, Hamza must confront the realities of
the post-9/11 world.
