ONE NIGHT ONLY: ‘MADAM YANKELOVA’S FINE LITERATURE CLUB’ WILL SCREEN IN KANSAS CITY ON JULY 31MADAM YANKELOVA’S FINE LITERATURE CLUB // ROCK SALT RELEASING“A deliciously droll and macabre feminist fairy tale” – The Hollywood Reporter.

Kansas City, MO – July 2, 2019 – ROCK SALT RELEASING cordially invites Kansas City to ‘Madam Yankelova’ – a night of beauty, fine literature and feminine feasting.

Join us for the one-night only screening of Israel’s first feminist-cannibal-fantasy film, Madam Yankelova’s Fine Literature Club, at Kansas City’s Alamo Drafthouse Cinema on July 31 at 7:00 PM.

The debuting gothic horror comedy from Guilhad Emilio Schenker (Lavan), written alongside Yossi Meiri (A Wonderful Day), Madam Yankelova’s Fine Literature Club (aka ‘HaMoadon LeSafrut Yaffa Shel Hagveret Yanlekova’) is a dark tale which deals with love and hate, femininity and aging, strong friendship and the ability to say goodbye.

Inspired by the dark themes of the novella, “The Mistress and the Peddler” by Nobel laureate S.Y. Agnon, Madam Yankelova’s Fine Literature Club is abedtime story for the broken hearted, the tenderly twisted and the fed-up feminist. The award-winning fantasy/dark comedy follows a secret women-only club – a club that sacrifices men. Whoever brings the most attractive man to their weekly meeting is awarded with a Woman of the Week trophy. After, the men are carved and ground up into hot dog meat.

First rule: The lady with the best looking date wins.

Second rule: Collect 100 trophies and the member achieves the coveted status of Lordess.

Third rule: Love is prohibited.

So when Sophie falls in love with a mysterious man, she must choose between her last chance for true love or her one shot for fame and glory within this macabre high society of lordesses.

Madam Yankelova’s Fine Literature Club effectively combines elements of horror, romance, dark comedy and drama into its unique melange, with Schenker infusing the proceedings with a distinct Tim Burton-style vibe,” wrote The Hollywood Reporter.
