Night In Ashdod \ documentary video \ 1:32 hours \



Shot in Ashdod*, Israel, July 2006, a city in which the ratio of women to men is 1,046 to 1,000. A group of three party-goers from Tel Aviv come to experience and enjoy the local night life and people.

The three are: Nimrod Kamer (25, A journalist and a junior high school teacher), Roy 'Chicky' Arad (29, A poet and a TV script writer) and lovely Dana Guidetti (a Julie Andrews style IBM worker and local Tel Avivan debutante).

As Kamer takes the camera most of time and Dana drives the car the three are able to reach out the sexiest most desirable locations in Ashdod: A Beach Car-Pool party, 4 of the hottest clubs, most beautiful Ashdodian dancers and - A fancy fish restaurant.

This is a documentary - and takes an hour and half, as no essential parts were cut from the almost real and original time of the night.

The video is a part of The Middle East Night Life Serious by Nimrod Kamer and Roy Arad. Other episodes: http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=night+chicky+nimrod.

The Tel Aviv Post Massacre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tel Aviv Post Massacre (in Hebrew: טבח הדואר של תל אביב) is an attempt to make a first full length Zionist horror picture show in the city of Tel Aviv, Israel according to the "Avriri Manifesto" [1] and as a soft remake of the American genre establishing film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). The project creator was Nimrod Kamer.
The film is an attempt, since it was never completed. It was due to be screened in the Israeli complex of "Cinema-City" in the summer of 2006. Only one shooting day had taken place, but the "film" got enormous treatment by Israeli press and cinema societies. A short story was also published depicting the process of it's script writing and production. A story on the director Nimrod Kamer was broad-casted on Israeli TV on february 2006, comparing him to Peter Jackson.

A speech, held by Nimrod Kamer, at the Tzavta hall at the Directors Union forum to go on strike against "Hot", 13.1.2006

Dear Friends,

My name is Nimrod Kamer and I am 24 years old.

I am actually the youngest member of the board of directors, and also the youngest speaker here today.

In these days I am directing an horror
movie, along side with my friends and colleagues, under the independent body that we have founded named “Avriri Cinema”.

Up ‘til one year ago I was a film student in the Jerusalem, and can not think of a less profitable period of my life..

Not only that I had to spend a fortune on my films, I also had no possession on them, as they were the sole property of the school.

I thought, very naively so, that it is natural, that as a student I have no rights on my works, and that after school things would obviously change.

Apparently I was wrong.

Yesterday I decided to disengage from my “Hot”* account. Eager enough to do so I dialed asterisk 6900 and began to wait. 80 nis** I used to pay “Hot” every month, only for my internet account, and today I am no longer willing to pay them even this small amount. Still, after not being able to get any answer from the “Hot” customer hot-line I am still a paying member, for the sole reason of not being able to get them on the phone.

During that hanging period, waiting for the operator, I understood the meaning of some of the power held by the cable companies. Also, I understood that by waiting for “Hot” for forever we will not achieve any of our goals.

The ultimatum, about to presented to you by my friend Amit Lior, in the end of today’s assembly, is the way to divert the clock in our favor. From now on we can be the ones holding the stopper watches, dictating the disengagement schedules. We must be stubborn and tough enough ‘til the very submission of this conglomerate.

We will strike, bite, convince and change this reality. We will protest and get arrested. We shell demand our rightful rights.

This Union will no longer be a depressing and an asexual institute. Today, with your help, the union changes it’s face.

Thank You.


* ”Hot” is Israel’s leading cable TV company.
** ”NIS” is the Israeli currency.

This speech was held at the “Tzavta” hall in Tel Aviv, Israel, at the Writers and Directors Union forum to go on strike against “Hot”, 13.1.2006.
