THE HEBREW HAMMER
CANADIAN PREMIERE
USA, 2002, 35mm, 85 min.
Writer / Director: Jonathan Kesselman
Cast: Adam Goldberg, Andy Dick, Mario Van Peebles, Judy Greer,
_________Peter Coyote
Jew Power! The Hebrew Hammer, aka Mordecai Jefferson Carver (Adam Goldberg), swings into action when Santa Claus' evil son, Damien (Andy Dick) decides to destroy Hanukkah. Allied with Muhammad Ali Paula Abdul Rahim (Mario Van Peebles), head of the Kwanzaa Liberation Front, Hammer, the self described 'baddest Hebe in the neighbourhood', prepares to kick some gentile ass. Throwing political correctness out the window, and guaranteed to offend everyone, The Hebrew Hammer is the most outrageous spoof to come along since The Producers. As the earlock-wearing, Manishewitz-swigging, leather-jacketed Hammer, Goldberg is a hoot, a tough as borscht super-hero who can't handle the pressure of saving the Jewish world or going home for a Sabbath dinner. Sacrilegious, fearless and hysterically funny!
Writer / Director Jonathan Kesselman will be in attendance.

A FEVER IN THE BLOOD
NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE
UNITED KINGDOM, 2002, 35mm, 11 min.
Writer / Director: Andrew Pulver
Hard-boiled, florid private eye Victor Shapiro (Martin McDougall), has just gotten one ear bitten off by a culprit and promptly has lost his hearing in his other one. What's a hearing impaired detective to do? A quirky, flamboyantly funny tale based on a short story by producer/writer Ethan Coen (O' Brother, Where Art Thou?, Fargo).
Winner, Kodak / BAFTA Short Film Showcase, London, 2002
