Event Details
NYC Theatrical Premiere, One Week Only!
*** Writer-Director MADELEINE OLNEK in person at All Shows,
with Special Guests all week long! ***
"Sweet, funny, clever comedy... Olnek's sensibility is singular, and the work of the cast (notably the sweetfaced Haas and the hilariously robotic Ziegler) make for a movie that seeks, and earns, affection."
- John Anderson, VARIETY
"A hilarious date movie for couples of all orientations."
- Justin Lowe, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"Inspired silliness… slyly subversive!"
- Melissa Anderson, THE VILLAGE VOICE (Jan. 4, 2012)
"[A] witty ode to urban love and shoestring sci-fi... Photographed in crisp black and white by Nat Bouman, this enormously likable movie keeps sexual politics on the back burner and the universal search for connection front and center."
- Jeannette Catsoulis, THE NEW YORK TIMES (Jan. 5, 2012)

Nominated for the "Best Film Not Playing at a Theater Near You" Gotham Award, CODEPENDENT LESBIAN SPACE ALIEN SEEKS SAME is Madeleine Olnek's wryly funny mashup of New York romantic comedy and 1950s sci-fi spoof. The tongue-in-cheek cult fave of Sundance, Rio de Janeiro, Sarasota and Newfest makes its NYC theatrical premiere with a week-long run, January 6 - 12.
Three extraterrestrials from the planet Zots are sent on a mission to rid themselves of romantic emotions, which are considered toxic to their planet's atmosphere. They are told to have their hearts broken on Earth, where such heartbreak is considered a given. Promiscuous and sassy Zylar (Jackie Monahan) and the ever-clingy Barr (Cynthia Kaplan) unfortunately fall in love with each other, while Zoinx (Susan Ziegler) meets Jane (Lisa Haas), a mild-mannered Earthling who lives an uneventful life and works in a stationary store. Unaware that the sudden object of her affection is from outer space (despite her bald head and monotone speech), Jane falls hard for Zoinx. The feeling is mutual.
Meanwhile, two undercover government agents (Alex Karpovsky and Dennis Davis) are following Jane in order to find the spaceship and cover up the aliens' existence. Their bizarre, comical espionage reveals itself to be something other than what it seems...
75 minutes. In English. Presented in Blu-ray. Unrated.

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.
