Los Angeles, CA – June 6, 2019 – ‘Madam Yankelova’s Fine Literature Club’ begins USA theatrical leg with two Los Angeles locations, with upcoming screenings in Kansas City, New York and more.
The debuting fantasy feature from Guilhad Emilio Schenker (Lavan) and written alongside Yossi Meiri (A Wonderful Day), Madam Yankelova’s Fine Literature Club (aka ‘HaMoadon LeSafrut Yaffa Shel Hagveret Yanlekova’) is Israel’s first feminist-cannibal-fantasy film.
Madam Yankelova’s Fine Literature Club “explores timely questions of a woman’s worth in society. Do we lose everything the day our looks start to fade? Can we rise above such superficial concerns and value intellect? Are we destined to the class we’re born into no matter how hard we try? And perhaps the most important question of all: how much are we willing to give up for love?” wrote Logan Taylor, associate programmer for SXSW Film Festival and programmer for Fantastic Fest.
The award winning dark fantasy, Madam Yankelova’s Fine Literature Club, is a bedtime story for the broken hearted. Following 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. But when a club member is close to becoming a Lordess and meets a handsome man, she must choose between her last chance for true love and her commitment to the club.
The women in horror festival favorite will commence its USA theatrical leg with two weeklong Los Angeles theatricals opening Friday, June 21st at Encino’s Laemmle Town Center 5 and Beverly Hills’ Laemmle Music Hall. On opening night (June 21st), Madam Yankelova’s Fine Literature Club will follow with a special Q&A with the writer-director, Guilhad Emilio Schenker, at the Encino location.
