The Rooftop Films Summer Series continues tonight with a screening tonight at New York’s El Museo Del Barrio. The museum (one of the most underrated in the Big Apple, I believe) will feature music by “Puerto Rican electro-pop quartet” Balun, then feature the movie “Up With Me”.According to Rooftop Films’ website, the film looks at several dilemmas:
“In school, they taught us about great civilizations. But one day, they’ll count Harlem as one of them, and they’ll count us...” But when Francisco, a teenager from Harlem, is admitted to an upstate boarding school on scholarship, he is torn between his life at home—his loyal girlfriend and his jealous best friend—and the new environment.
In tough and disadvantaged neighborhoods, people always face a dilemma choosing between local pride and worldly desire, between staying loyal and seeking a better life. How do you improve yourself (or even define “improvement”) in ways that don’t alienate your friends, your loved ones, your community?
