AND ON HIS BIRTHDAY, Thu. 2/9 ***
"(EDITOR'S PICK!) Highly original… adjust to the film's unusual rhythms and you may discover subtly powerful moments."
- Bilge Ebiri, NEW YORK MAGAZINE
"BAD FEVER has the empathetic soul of '70s American filmmaking... The film's true melancholic heart, however, is Eddie's misbegotten comedy-club debut -- a rambling, punchline-deficient catastrophe that's staggering in its mixture of desperation, delusion, and eye-searing awkwardness."
- Nick Schager, THE VILLAGE VOICE
"Defa exerts delicate control over his incendiary material and evokes emotional terrors with a sympathetic directness; his raw-toned drama is quietly hectic and brutally poignant."
- Richard Brody, THE NEW YORKER
"(5 out of 5.) A challenging, haunting piece of filmmaking."
- Andrew Johnson, GORDON AND THE WHALE
"Reaches a new state of uncomfortable, piercing sadness. [Kentucker Audley] displays a commitment to his character that should be recognized in some fashion during awards season next year."
- Michael Tully, HAMMER TO NAIL

Writer-director Dustin Guy Defa's BAD FEVER is an alternatingly quiet and delirious drama about solitude and the need for companionship, or is it a desperate witness to one man's broken American dream? The provocative cult rarity of SXSW, Maryland and Indie Memphis makes its NYC theatrical premiere with a week-long run, February 3 - 9.
Sullen loner Eddie (Kentucker Audley, OPEN FIVE) bumbles his way through an agonizing courtship with Irene (Eleonore Hendricks, DADDY LONGLEGS), a manipulating drifter who videotapes their fleeting moments together. To express his true feelings for her, he painstakingly orchestrates his debut stand-up performance at the local comedy club, perhaps the most unsettling of its kind in cinema history. BAD FEVER is a portrait of two lonely trains passing each other by on the emotional tracks of a forgotten city.
77 minutes. In English. Presented in Blu-ray. Unrated. A Factory 25 release.

(March 2011) ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY called reRun one of 8 nationwide theaters "redefining the moviegoing experience."
(April 2011) EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY praised reRun's gourmet popcorn as one of 4 nationwide theaters "giving their classic snack an upgrade."
(October 2011) TIME OUT NEW YORK singled out reRun as a "DIY trailblazer," saying they "love reRun's laid-back vibe" and "friendly staff."
(December 2011) TRAVEL AND LEISURE hailed reRun, among 9 others, as one of "The World's Coolest Movie Theaters."
(February 2012) VARIETY says reRun "raises bar for indies" and is "among the only theaters in the U.S. that provides newfound theatrical and ancillary opportunities to films without a [distributor]."
reRun is reBar's independent cinema, located just down the hall from the restaurant. Featuring 48 reclaimed car seats, full bar, gourmet snack counter, and a 12-foot screen, reRun offers just the kind of intimate art-house theater experience you'd expect from the creators of the funky gastropub reBar.
reRun provides a large theater AV experience. An all-digital 1080p HD projector, coupled with a monstrous JBL 7.1 surround pro-audio sound system make the movies projected on the twelve foot screen come alive in a sparkling show. The bar features two rotating draft taps, a broad selection of bottled craft beers, a selection of sustainable, organic, and biodynamically farmed wines, a full liquor cabinet for your imbibing pleasure, and traditional and creative snacks created by reBar's Executive Chef Jeremy Leech.
During off-hours reRun is available for private rental. Children's birthdays, corporate off-site meetings, and private get-togethers are all possible in the theater. Call Veronica at (917) 583-9343 for private bookings. Catering available for your parties through reBar.
