Hot Docs Debuts Roof Top Screenings

Posted July 29, 2010 9:28 am.

This article is more than 5 years old.

Once again, Hot Docs is lighting up summer nights with roof-top screenings of two hit films.

The Parking Lot Movie and Winnebago Man (pictured above) will be shown at the Amsterdam Brewery and it’s only fitting that viewers will sit in the parking lot.

If you missed CityNews.ca Pick The Parking Lot Movie back in May, don’t worry – you can still see a “rag-tag group of super smart and creative parking lot attendants working at what could be the coolest lot in Virginia” on August 6.

And you can meet “the angriest RV salesmen in the world” on August 20.

It’s part of a partnership with Open Roof Films that runs throughout August. Tickets are $15 and they include a performance from a live band and a post-film party.

Documentaries not your thing? Here’s a look at what else is playing:

Friday, August 6 – The Parking Lot Movie
Thursday, August 12 – This Movie is Broken
Friday, August 13 – Comedy Shorts – brought to you by the CFC
Thursday, August 19 – Lovers of Hate
Friday, August 20 – Winnebago Man
Thursday, August 26 – Bravo Fact Night
Friday, August 27 – Tiny Furniture
