Our favorite local film series, Rooftop Films, returns to the roof of the Old American Can Factory at Third Avenue and Third Street in Gowanus tonight (6/14). Tonights program is INDUSTRIANCE Short Films: Eminent Domain. Shorts program co presented by XO Projects. Dynamic short films about communities in flames and on the cusp. Then, next Saturday, June 21, there’s the New York premiere of the feature documentary, The Women of Brukman (Isaac Isitan | Canada & Argentina): “The Brukman garment workers in Argentina take control of their factory during the 2001 financial crisis, winning a radical victory for worker-owned industry.” The full schedule is here. There are Friday shows atop Automotive High School on Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg. If you haven’t been up to the roof to see a film, we highly recommend it. Tickets are $9 at the door and $6 in advance. The film program starts at sundown, there’s music beforehand and a nice view of the back of Hotel Le Bleu.
