Cats on a Pedal Boat

Directed by Yuval Mendelson and Nadav Hollander

With Michael Moshonov, Dana Frider, Shmuel Vilozni, Michael Hanegbi and Gidi Gov

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.
