"An American Hippie in Israel" has had monthly midnight screenings at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque, drawing crowds that shout along with the dialogue.

As a result of its new-found popularity, the film is also set for a limited US release later this year, following its acquisition nearly a decade ago by US company Grindhouse Releasing, which specializes in cult and “exploitation films.”

The company’s theatrical director, David Szulkin, said the film has received very positive feedback after two previous showings in Los Angeles, and that the company plans to release it in US theaters and on Blu-ray disc this year.

The movie centers around New York native Mike, the hippie (played by Asher Tzarfati), who, fresh from the killing fields of Vietnam, lands in Israel one sunny morning clad in a white rabbit fur vest, bellbottoms and a bowler hat. He links up with some Israeli flower children and they skipacross the city, eventually making their way to Eilat to build a utopia far away from the rat race.

The love fest predictably soon turns into a bloodbath, and floating plastic sharks prevent the crew’s escape from the coral island south of Eilat. Throughout the movie, Mike is hounded by a duo of menacing mimes in black suits and zombie make-up, whose motives are unknown but whose methods are murderous.
