Event Details
NYC Theatrical Premiere, One Week Only!
NEW YORK MAGAZINE: "Critic's Pick!"
"One of the must-see films from Cannes."
- Brian Brooks, INDIEWIRE
"Stark and bold! Griffin is undoubtedly a name to keep tabs on."
- Jamie Graham, TOTAL FILM
"Announces the arrival of a new American indie talent in Alistair Banks Griffin... The film is a marvel."
- Jordan Mintzer, VARIETY
The toast of prestigious film festivals worldwide (Cannes Directors' Fortnight, London, Deauville, AFI and Tokyo), TWO GATES OF SLEEP is "visually ecstatic... a luscious widescreen meditation on nature, death and Southern discomfort" (Variety). Writer/director Alistair Banks Griffin's debut feature makes its NYC theatrical premiere with a week-long run, April 1 - 7.
Somewhere on the Mississippi-Louisiana border, brothers Jack (Brady Corbet, FUNNY GAMES) and Louis (David Call, TV's GOSSIP GIRL) prepare for their mother's imminent death. Their communication limited to glances, they hunt a gorgeous animal, cook a special meal and share last moments of quiet intimacy with the woman who bore them. Once she succumbs, they ignore society's expectations and undertake an arduous journey to bury her along the riverbank.
Stunningly photographed by Jody Lee Lipes (AFTERSCHOOL, TINY FURNITURE), the film shuns narrative conventions through exactingly spare techniques that magnify the tension and melancholy in every frame. Ants swarm in the dirt, trees form a green cathedral, and the brothers step deeper into the muddy river. Evoking the elemental themes of Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying," TWO GATES OF SLEEP is a film of rare beauty that calls attention to seldom seen customs of the rural South, and paints a shattering portrait of a family overcoming extraordinary circumstances to honor a final request.
78 minutes. In English. Presented in Blu-ray. Unrated. A Factory 25 Release.

reRun Theater
(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.
