For the past 19 summers, cinephiles have been gathering atop unconventional buildings — like the Old American Can Factory in Gowanus, the Bushwick Generator or Industry City in Sunset Park — to watch movies, short films and live performances as part of the nonprofit Rooftop Films series.
As the organization heads into its 20th season, it’s asking for help via a Kickstarter campaign to build its membership base and keep the community-building film events going strong.

Rewards for donating include tickets to 2016 screenings, Rooftop Films memberships that allow for free entry to summer shows (a perfect last-minute Christmas gift), films from Oscilloscope Laboratories, a private yoga lesson from Orange is the New Black actress Yael Stone and more.
And through December 27, actors and filmmakers Mark Duplass and Katie Aselton will match donations up to $5,000. The campaign ends December 31.
