As the 2009 Summer Series winds down, a severe gap in the budget threatens to drastically shrink its future programming. The organization must raise $70,000 by October to ensure that Rooftop Films can continue without compromise in 2010. Donations from supporters – whether it’s $1,000 or $100 or $10 – is crucial to that effort.

Bringing independent film to the diverse communities of New York City is central to its mission, which is why the 2009 Summer Series has gone ahead as planned despite major budget cuts behind the scenes. In fact, this has been a banner year for Rooftop – more premieres than ever before, groundbreaking partnerships with organizations like International Film Festival Rotterdam and Reel 13, and record audiences. By the end of the season, it will have presented more than 40 nights of incredible films in incredible locations.

Understanding that the economic crisis has affected audiences as well, buying tickets to a Rooftop show probably seems harder than it did a year ago. At this critical moment, though, it must ask for additional contributions to ensure that it can continue with  programs in the coming years.

The Lady From Shanghai

Cinema history is full of actors that never got the appreciation from the Academy that they truly deserve. Now the Museum of the Moving Image (36-01 35th Ave, Queens, NY) is giving some of those performances a little recognition. Snubbed Forever (running February 1 to March 9) features films from actors that never had (or have, so far) received a single Academy Award nomination for acting, including Rita Hayworth, John Goodman, Donald Sutherland, and many more overlooked luminaries.

Films include:

  • 3:10 To Yuma
  • Rosemary’s Baby
  • The Magnificent Ambersons
  • The Lady From Shanghai
  • An Officer and a Gentleman
  • Blue Collar
  • Saint Jack
  • Don’t Look Now

And more.
