Food, drinks, live music by Bachelorette and others, a fantastic fireworks view and explosive Americana films. A mix of the wacky and the weighty in contemporary America. Rooftop’s annual 4th of July show includes a party atmosphere peppered with some prepossessing films; serious calls for social justice tempered by some seriously funny films.
This program of short films walks us through various landscapes of the American Dream, and the American Nightmare. These films satirize many of America's problems, and celebrate America's strengths. It's easy to think that America is on the decline. The economy is in tatters. We're still waging two unpopular and so far unsuccessful wars. Civil rights issues like marriage equality and universal health care struggle to gain acceptance. Junk food, disposable products and ever more asinine "reality TV" shows continue to dominate the cultural landscape.
THE FILMS:
Sovereignty (Jonathan Sale | New York, NY | 19:00)
Please do not attempt to adjust your lifestyle. Pulitzer Prize nominated author Rolin Jones, Producer and Writer of Showtime’s Emmy and Golden Globe winning series “Weeds,” uncoils a hilarious and caustic allegory of the lengths to which people—particularly Americans—will go to ignore the horrors in the world around them. laurelfilmsinc.com
American Minor (Charlie White | Los Angeles, CA | 8:00)
A meditation on the American teen girl, focusing on the external environment and internal state a teen whose world is defined through products, objects, and consumption. charliewhite.info
The Greatest Gift (Daniel Bloomberg | Brooklyn, NY | 4:00)
A shadowy force attacks a typical American all-girls school cafeteria. The most popular girl risks her life to save the school misfit, and through her sacrifice opens the misfit's eyes to the joys of life within the community. danielbloomberg.com
The First Kid to Learn English from Mexico (Peter Jordan | Palo Alto, CA | 20:00)
9-year-old Pedro's reluctant journey through elementary school in pursuit of the American Dream, which he describes as a "nightmare." Misbehaving and failing at school, Pedro becomes isolated from other children and tries to befriend unsuspecting animals he encounters along his way. Told from Pedro's point of view, as only a child could, this idiosyncratic documentary enters the subjective universe of a Mexican immigrant boy at odds with the new country around him. localfilms.org
O.W. Houts & Sons, Inc. (Richie Sherman & Aaron Matthews | Pine Grove Mills, PA | 9:30)
The American Dream is exemplified by the small town family business. The American Reality is that even after decades of exceptional service, small town family businesses can't compete with national corporate chain stores. A sweet and sad story that we hope renews interest in supporting local American shops.

Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest
* When:Sat 7/4 (7PM)
* Where: Surf Avenue
* Address: Coney Island Brooklyn , NY Map
The Nathan's Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest Each Fourth of July a group of 20 steely-eyed individuals line up behind a 30-foot table at Nathan's flagship restaurant on Surf Avenue in Coney Island to begin the world hot dog eating championship. At 12 Noon, crushed by fans and media, the competitors begin the historic 12-minute contest.
According to archives, the Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest was first held in 1916, the year Nathan's opened on Surf Avenue. The contest has been held each year since then, except in 1941, when it was canceled as a protest to the war in Europe, and in 1971, when it was canceled as a protest to civil unrest and the reign of free love.
