"Tabby the Great and the Highly Unfortunate Closing of Two Boots Avenue A," directed by Tabitha Haugen and Billy Waldman, starts at 7:30 p.m. at the bookstore at 197 Third St., between Avenue A and Avenue B.
Haugen, who worked at Two Boots for two years, said on Instagram that the documentary started as a joke after word came that the pizzeria would be closing.
"The film was Billy's idea," she wrote. "Billy came in and jokingly said we should make a movie about the closing ... I took it as a joke for 3 seconds, then realized ... that could actually be really fun and challenging!"
They shot the film over three weeks, collecting interviews and B-roll, with Two Boots customers contributing music and posters.
The filmmakers screened the doc on the handball courts this past summer.
Two Boots closed its Avenue A and Third Street location on May 29 after nearly 40 years in business. Owner Phil Hartman has said he plans to reopen Two Boots elsewhere in the East Village.
