“Have I simply been ill this year? Or am I just turning into a different type of animal?” Mr. Bird mulls the origin of his fever in this clip from the film, released via Vimeo during December. Over 33,000 have viewed this YouTube clip, featuring Annie Clark of St. Vincent – almost as many have viewed the official trailer. Take a peek!

It’s hard to believe that the multi award-winning Andrew Bird: Fever Year, described by the Film Society of Lincoln Center as “a cunning hybrid of documentary and concert film” will only be released in film festivals, but it’s true. Andrew has chosen not to release the film on DVD, VOD, or in theaters.

This feature-length treasure has shown at over 70 festivals worldwide and will continue during 2013. We hope you’ll trek to see it on a big screen near you! Click to send thoughts on FYR‘s limited release

Want to host a private home screening of Andrew Bird: Fever Year for a handful of friends? Folks as far away as South Korea and Mexico City have enjoyed the film in their living rooms, by making a $75 tax-deductible donation toward production of Fever Year director Xan Aranda‘s much buzzed-about forthcoming Mormon Movie.
