Rooftop Films is in the midst of their 2014 season and Thursday’s screening (7/3) happens at Industry City in Sunset Park. They’re screeening Adam Newport-Berra’s Thanksgiving, with a pre-movie performance by Reggie Watts who just played Town Hall. You can stick around for the afterparty sponsored by New Amsterdam Spirits. Doors are at 8 PM, Reggie’s on at 8:30 PM and the movie’s at 9 PM, rain or shine. Tickets are still available. As for the movie, here’s the synopsis:

Alex & Amy are the perfect Brooklyn couple. They have a cat, a Thanksgiving table of bohemian friends, and a glowing future together. Yet the sudden holiday appearance of Amy’s mysterious brother Will quickly disrupts their idyllic lifestyle and calls into question what we’re truly “thankful” for.

After that, the next Rooftop Films screening is Saturday (7/5) at The Old American Can Factory in Gowanus. That night they’re showing Russian/American documentary The Notorious Mr Bout with a live performance by Russian/American songwriter and Dirty Projectors collaborator Olga Bell. Tickets are available for that screening too. Trailer below…
