Roof-Top film Fest (RTFF) is a film festival born out of the desire to provide a platform for people to enjoy movies and share their criticism in an open environment. An intense atmosphere will be created for the screening of the films and the discussions that follow. The Roof-Top Film Fest will focus on independent films, short films, cult movies and films that changed the way we looked at cinema.
RTFF is an open-to-all many-times-a-year, anytime-in-a-year event for cinephiles to camp out for a couple days.
Event details
When
Will be put up shortly.
The bad news is that we are gonna postpone this roof top film festival :(. The good news however is that, a big 5 day film festival is on the cards. Hang in there tight... and keep watching this space. Alternatively, please update your email id under the participants tag, to be informed about this film festival :D - Sagaro
Was supposed to meet up with Nandu but my phone died and was stuck at an assignment doing Take Two with Boman Irani and Cyrus Sahukar. I apologise, Nandu. Extremely Sorry. Hope to catch up soon. Meanwhile, I've posted below some of the films we discussed the other night at RTFF under the heist/neo-noir genre. - Sudhish
Where
Will be put up soon.
Sagaro was just saying a Roof Top might be a bad idea given the rainy season. Any options?
