¿Qué significa ser canadiense?
From the 1930's to the 1970's, pretty well every comedian or comic you might see on TV or the movies was Jewish. Jews came to dominate the world of western‐society comedy on radio, stage and screen alike.Why did Jews dominate comedy in this period? And why did that domination end? Were Jews just funnier back then? And if so, did that extend to your average Jew on the street? In this 90 minute documentary acclaimed director Alan Zweig will examine these questions and many others in this exploration of 20th century humour, cultural decay, and a search for a missing heritage.

The Rat
Una comedia fantástica con unas pretensiones muy superiores a sus resultados, ya que pretendía infructuosamente esbozar una sátira de su época. El protagonista, convertido en superhéroe después de ser asesinado, encarna supuestamente los valores de la contracultura, pero casi nadie se entera. Demuestra como la torpeza puede malograr las mejores intenciones.
