There’s a film about community fridges! Join us for the free and open to the public even with RSVP. Hope to see you there!

Give and Take, produced by @jstnlvy will premiere Wednesday August 4th, at @rooftopfilms @fortgreenepark at 8pm, opening for the feature Homeroom. Give and Take is a 11min short film about the community fridge movement in NYC during the pandemic.

Description: After seven of their drivers died from COVID-19, a car service in Queens, NY started hosting a community fridge on the sidewalk outside their offices. A small business started by immigrants, Fenix XL now serves a largely immigrant community with 24hr access to free food. Fanny, who lost her cleaning job when schools were closed, now relies on this fridge to survive. The first community fridge in NYC started outside a Bed Stuy apartment in February 2020; there are now over 100 across the city, inspiring a movement around the world.
