Фильмы

Cats on a Pedal Boat
Not the sort of film we usually see coming from Israel, this teen horror-comedy is a loving tribute to American films of the 80s. Mili and Noam are high-school students who intend to celebrate their six-month anniversary by losing their virginity. What begins as an innocent pedal boat ride full of raging hormones, becomes a struggle against monstrous cats out for blood. This self-parodying low, low budget, independently produced feature is filled with surprises as well as hilarious oddball charm.

Саллах Шабати
60-е годы для Израиля – время великих переселений: сотни людей в этот период приезжают в страну. Энтузиасты мечтают о новом общественном устройстве, основанном на равенстве и взаимопомощи. В это время развивается система кибуцев. Кибуц – это специфический сельский населенный пункт, где все работают на общину. Никакой зарплаты члены кибуца не получают, но необходимое выдается из общего фонда. Поскольку работает принцип «или каждому — или никому», кибуц не может дать все и с избытком. Например, автомобиль остается вне распределяемых кибуцем благ. И вот в такое время приезжает из Марокко с женой и детьми человек по имени Салах Шабати. Простодушный и немного ленивый, герой не очень-то хочет жить в бараке и делать скучную работу. Поэтому Салах Шабати целыми днями играет в нарды с соседом и пытается придумать, как бы получить хорошее жилье и побольше денег...
