Tonight Rooftop films are in the Lower east Side and continue their season with Dangerous Docs at the New Design High School (Grand Street and Essex). This program of short films includes sex, drugs and violence, but with an artful and intellectual bent. There are brushes with international celebrity, beloved local legends, and closely guarded secrets, but each story proves that the bizarre lives of individuals can be fascinating no matter how well known they are, so long as they’re true.

The cost of admission is only $10 and there is an opening band, Elephant Parade, and an open bar reception after the screening at Fontanas on Eldridge Street.
