Get Out at Rooftop Cinema Club
This event has passed.
A rooftop screening turns psychological horror into sharp social commentary with Get Out, a film that redefined the genre.
Written and directed by Jordan Peele, Get Out follows photographer Chris Washington as a weekend visit to his white girlfriend’s family estate unravels into something far more sinister. What begins as awkward liberal politeness gives way to a chilling exploration of race, power and exploitation, using horror to expose the violence embedded in so-called “post-racial” spaces. Released in 2017, the film became a cultural flashpoint for its precision, dark humor and originality, earning Peele an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and cementing the film’s place in contemporary cinema.
The screening takes place Saturday, February 21 at Rooftop Cinema Club on Miami Beach as part of the venue’s Celebrating Black Cinema series, presented during Black History Month. The series highlights films created by and starring Black filmmakers and artists, recognizing the many facets of Black storytelling both in front of and behind the camera.
Guests watch from Rooftop Cinema Club’s open-air setup, with seating options that include individual Adirondack chairs or shared loveseats designed for relaxed viewing. Select ticket packages include popcorn, and all seating faces the outdoor screen, offering a cinematic experience framed by the night sky and Miami Beach skyline.
