Rooftop Films Presents: This is What We Mean by Short Films!

The Rooftop Films Summer Series is nothing if not wild, and this selection of dynamic short films encapsulates the adventurous spirit of our organization.

Walk down Lafayette Avenue. Make a left on Clinton Avenue. Continue on Clinton until you get to Flushing Avenue security gate. TO GET TO BROOKLYN GRANGE'S NAVY YARD FARM: Enter the Navy Yard at Clinton Ave and Flushing Ave, and tell the guard at the gate that you're headed up to Brooklyn Grange at Building 3. *Have a photo ID ready to show the guard.* Then make a hard left once you're through the gate so that you're essentially walking and/or driving on Flushing Ave, but on the Navy Yard side of the fence. Brooklyn Grange is the third building you'll pass on your right--it's the huge white and brown one with the loading dock that wraps all the way around it. The entrance is right in the center of the building, on the Flushing Ave side. Take the elevators up to 11, then make two rights, and head up one flight of stairs for the farm. |
