Rooftop Films and Shooting People present Short Films from Wholphin!

Rooftop Films returns to the halls of Chelsea market next Monday for a free screening of short films from the Wholphin collection. Wholphin is a quarterly DVD magazine from McSweeney's, lovingly encoded with the best short movies, documentaries and uncategorizable films -- from rare Spike Jonze documentaries to Alexander Payne's first short feature; from documentaries about squirrel racism to animated shorts about space travel and short-haired women. If it's good, rare, new or unseen, it's on Wholphin. On Monday, December 8th, we'll be showing a selection of incredible shorts from their newest edition (Issue 7), as well as several classics from their new Best of Wholphin DVD.

All of us at Rooftop Films have been big fans of Wholphin for years, so we are excited to be able to partner with them to present this collection from their library. If you like what you see, you should subscribe to Wholphin and they'll ship you a new batch of the best short films in the world every couple of months. The Wholphin DVDs are carefully curated and beautifully put together and feature insightful and entertaining liner notes as well as other special features. Subscrice to Wholphin now and along with the brand new Issue No 7 you will also get The Best of Wholphin--which includes audience favorites from Wholphin Issues 1 through 5, remastered, with expanded liner notes and directors' cuts.

Before the films, Love Like Deloreans will be performing live, and throughout the show we will have free bottles of beer courtesy of Radeberger Pilsner.
