Bangalore’s First Roof Top Film Festival

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

A bunch of movie buffs are organizing Bangalore’s First Roof Top Film Festival on 7th July. So it will be 7 movies from 7 PM to 7 AM on 7-7-2007. Cool huh?  

“Roof Top Film Festivals” are typically where people get together on somebody’s rooftop with a projector and a screen and watch movies which are not very popular in India or not released in multiplexes. These screenings are interspersed by independent film maker’s movies and discussions on the movies screened.

Catchflix is excited to be a part of this interesting event.
