New York Non-Fiction

Event

Hosted by Rooftop Films

The Municipal Art Society of New York is proud to be co-presenting Rooftop Films New York Non-Fiction; a screening of new short documentary films made by and about New Yorkers. The event, at the historic Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, includes live music, films, and an after-party with complimentary drinks. 

It’s your city. Take a look!

For more than two decades, Rooftop Films has presented their annual New York Non-Fiction Program. Each year, the screening brings together uniquely-unforgettable-but-perhaps-previously-overlooked characters and situations.

New York is a city full of passionate people, but sometimes it seems like no two passions are the same. Some of us love to birdwatch and cause ruckus in Central Park, and some of us collect tchotchkes with our name on them. Some of us have a passion for performing the dabka dance deep in bay Ridge, and some of us are driven to save the lives of our neighbors, even if it means taking control of a hospital in the South Bronx. New York Non-Fiction is a night of connection and community, so bring a friend, and use the occasion to make a new one.
