Interesting facts
Cables (Hebrew: כבלים, romanized: Kvalim is a 1992 Israeli comedy / parody film directed by Tzvi Shissel, which is a chain of sketches that parody various foreign films and TV programs, interspersed with songs by Arik Einstein and others. The episodes star many famous Israeli actors. A DVD edition was released in 2010.
Production
About 20 years before the film, a group of authors, while working on other films accumulated a scrapbook of ideas. However they were not realised, because after some time the paths of the group parted. A decade later three of them, Arik Einstein, Tzvi Schissel, Moni Moshonov, recovered the scrapbook and decided to do something with it. The idea was inspired by the cable TV revolution in Israel in early 1990s.
