Brooklyn's own Rooftop Films just announced a new partnership with the International Film Festival Rotterdam--way to go, team! These alliances are so important and are going to be so beneficial to both filmmakers and programmers, alike. And Rotterdam ain't no slouch in the festival department. They will have their 39th go-round in 2010.
RF and IFFR will co-present two films during this summer season. On July 17 and 18, there will be US premieres of Edwin's Blind Pig Who Wants to Fly from Indonesia, and Eugenio Polgovsky's Los Herederos from Mexico. Hot stuff.
Also on that weekend, Rooftop will host a forum with film industry leaders about the future of independent, alternative film exhibition--a timely topic, no question. Come rub elbows with some filmmakers you'd otherwise never meet. Click here for all you need to know.
