Open Roof Films

There’s a movie event that you most likely don’t know about, and it happens to be so cool that it would blow the roof off any theatre that dared to contain it—thankfully, the Open Roof Festival saves the repair bills by staying outdoors!

Open Roof Films is an outdoor film/drink/music experience that is held in the Amsterdam Brewery parking lot (21 Bathurst Street, Toronto).

Their first show was held on August 6, and their second takes place tonight, followed by two shows next week (Thursday and Friday). You’ll definitely want to attend and there are ample opportunities for you to do so.

In case you’re wondering what a night out of Open Roof Films is like, tickets are $15 at the door, doors open around 7:30 p.m., a great band plays a live music set, a conversation about the film takes place, the film is then viewed and, then, an after party follows… awesome, right?

Here’s a listing of upcoming Open Roof Films events:
August 12: This Movie is Broken (musical performance by The Little Black Dress)
August 13: CFC presents selected shorts and Nurse Fighter Boy (musical performance by Girls on Stilts)
August 19: Lovers of Hate (musical performance by Michael Kulas)
August 20: Winnebago Man (Sneak Preview) (musical performance by Breaching Vista)
August 26: Running Mates (musical performance information TBA)
August 27: Tiny Furniture (musical performance by Elos Arma)
