Rooftop Films
During the summer season Mensk transforms the top of the Free St. Parking Garage in downtown Portland into a walk-in movie theater.
Free to anyone who enjoys sitting in a lawnchair, these events serve not only to build community, but also to provide a venue for local film-makers to show their short films prior to the feature.
We are looking for short, Maine made films to screen prior to each feature film. Please contact info@menskmaine.org
