Our all-month birthday celebration wraps up with Hundreds Of Beavers, a new age cult comedy classic! And as an added bonus, stick around after the film as we chat with the man behind the madness, writer/director Mike Cheslik himself, moderated by LA Times film critic Amy Nicholson! 

In the early 1800’s, Jean Kayak, a drunken applejack salesman, finds himself stranded in a surreal winter landscape with nothing but his dim wits to guide him. Against a backdrop of ruthless elements and forest creatures – all played by actors in full-sized mascot costumes – Kayak develops increasingly complex traps in order to win the hand of a mischievous lover. When he discovers that the Beavers have formed their own secret society, he must infiltrate their lair to uncover their secrets and win the day. Robert Abele of The LA Times called it, “Gonzo cinema, moonshine distilled from the corny legacy from every loopy genius from Buster Keaton and Tex Avery to Mel Brooks and George Miller.”

Our Surrealist Animation series continues with Heavy Metal, Gerald Potterton’s classic animated sci-fi anthology!
