New York’s Rooftop Films are partnering with IFC.com to bring you 100 short films online. The fine folk at Rooftop Films have been great champions of short films for 11 years and they curate some really interesting, bizarre, and wonderful work. Plus they’re just really lovely people who live and work in Brooklyn and create amazing outdoor summer shows involving music and film (and beer) so it’s hard not to be a fan of what they do. I have discovered a few filmmakers I really love through Rooftop (please everyone track down Jennifer Matotek’s films: Brent’s Wondrous Balls and Every Boy I’ve Fucked) and they showcased the films of Shooting People’s own Lee Kern at a brilliant summer show in 2006.

So check out the films here – there are already a few online.

The 2007 Rooftop season starts with a free show tonight in Fort Greene Park and then the official opening night is June 8th in the Lower East Side. Bring it on! Find all the details here. Tickets are only 5 bucks if you book them in advance online.

And while we’re on the subject of short films and Brooklyn, the Sundance Institute at BAM are showing a series of shorts programs tomorrow. Ticket holders can also attend a talk with Sundance Film Festival’s Director of Programming John Cooper and Senior Programmer Trevor Groth. All details here.
