Directed and co-written by Sophie's bartender (and photographer and filmmaker) Kyle de Vre, the 80-minute film unfolds through a series of barroom vignettes set over random Tuesdays, populated by quirky regulars, curious newcomers and the occasional unexplained smell.
As we noted in our January Q&A with de Vre, who also plays The Bartender, "Irregular" is more than a neighborhood movie — it's a love letter to both Sophie's and the East Village. The camera lingers on the decades-old bar and its history, including artwork by longtime regulars, the late Eddie Boros and Markand Thakar, among others.
The screening begins at 6 p.m. Find the details at this link. The Chain Theatre is at 312 W. 36th S., between Eighth and Ninth Streets.
