Reel Q Presents “Made on the Rooftop” (South Korea)
Pittsburgh-based film organization Reel Q presents screenings of films from all over the world—Argentina, Iran, Pakistan, Taiwan, and many more—that center queer voices and perspectives. This February, Reel Q enters its 11th year of collaboration with City of Asylum with the whimsical rom-com Made on the Rooftop, directed by Kim Jho Gwang-soo.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Seoul, Made on the Rooftop is a romantic journey through heartbreak, friendship, and rediscovery. After his breakup with the reserved and closeted Jeong-min, Ha-neul is left heartbroken and homeless, forced to leave not only his lover but also their beloved cat, Ari. Finding refuge with his flamboyant and supportive best friend, Bongsik, Ha-neul tries to mend his heart while navigating life on a rooftop where love, laughter, and second chances are always in the air.
With its candy-colored visuals, witty humor, and heartfelt moments, Made on the Rooftop is an ode to young love and the courage to start over. Perfect for Valentine’s Week, this rom-com reminds us that love, whether romantic or platonic, always has a way of finding us when we need it most.
Before the screening, join us for our very first Reel Connections, a social speed-friending happy hour! From 6–7 PM, we’ll partake in a lively and fun-filled hour of games, drinks, and snacks, and the chance to meet new friends…or perhaps even something more. Whether you’re coming solo, with your partner, or a group of friends, this is the perfect way to mingle and set the tone for a romantic and joyful Valentine’s Week celebration.
Save the date! future Reel Q screenings at COA will happen June 24th and November 11th.
