One of our favorite summer series, Rootop Films, is back for another season. Per an email:

We’re back, kicking it off with a screening this weekend! On Saturday, May 31st, at 9:00pm we will be holding a FREE screening of the film “At the Death House Door” in Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn. The film: Pastor Carroll Pickett oversaw 95 executions at a Texas prison, but the experiences changed his views forever. The makers of “Hoop Dreams” examine this contentious issue through the story of this unique anti-death penalty activist. The filmmakers (Steve James & Peter Gilbert) will also be in attendance for a Q&A after the screening…This is our “Rooftop Films 2008 Summer Series” warm-up show. Our official opening night is Friday July 6 on the roof of the New Design High School in the Lower East Side.

Brooklyn screenings take place at the Old American Can Factory in Gowanus and at Automotive High School in Williamsburg. For the schedule so far, click here.
