THE FILMS

Liturgy of Anti-Tank Obstacles

Dmytro Sukholytkyy-Sobchuk | US, Ukraine | 12 min

In western Ukraine, sculptors who used to make religious statues are retraining for different skills. They now build anti-tank obstacles to help fend off the Russian invasion.

The Pedestrian

Nora DeLigter & Claire Read | US | 19 min

A pedestrian sets off on a nine-day walk from Brooklyn to Montauk. As he makes his way, a chorus of Long island characters question his motives: is it a practice or a calling? Is he getting lost or finding himself?

Holy Cowboys

Varun Chopra | India, US | 24 min

In small-town India, where cows are considered sacred, a teenaged boy and his group of friends set off on a quest to become saviors of the holy cow only to be caught in the grip of right wing radicalism.

Balloon Boy

Arlin Golden & Brian Gersten | US | 17 min

On October 15, 2009, America watched with rapt attention a large balloon float through the skies of Colorado on live TV

Alpha Kings

Can I bring food and drinks?

No outside alcoholic beverages are allowed. Feel free to bring snacks and non-alcoholic beverages! No glass on the roof, please!

Can I wear heels?

Sorry, but on the roof we ask that you don't wear stiletto heels as it's a soft roof. You are allowed to wear pointy heels in the Courtyard and we provide flip flops if needed.

Do I need to wear a mask?

All attendees are required to wear a mask during check in, and while indoors. Masks are encouraged while interacting with staff outdoors. Mask policy may be updated based on current local conditions at the time of the event. Ticket holders will be notified of policy changes via email prior to the event.

How accessible is this venue?

There will be a few flights of stairs to climb up to the roof. If you would like to attend this event but have an ADA need, we can provide a freight elevator. There is one step that will be unavoidable in stepping onto the roof. Our courtyard seating (available at select events) is entirely accessible.
