The Electrifiers won the 1984 Best New Artist Award for a smash hit which no one remembers, and have been stuck in traffic on the fast track to international stardom ever since. Thirty years later, the band members continue to drag themselves between gigs at nursing houses and cheap B&Bs while their lead singer still believes he is a 20-year-old rocker. But just as everyone is about to become completely fed up with him, a surprising opportunity presents itself, which could propel the Electrifiers straight to the top.

A heartfelt comedy about a group of washed-up pop musicians, The Electrifiers’ cast includes cameo appearances by real-life 1980s Israeli pop icons.

Filmography: Freak Out (2015).

Come and party with the fan club before the screening at 6PM at the Cinemateque Plaza, in an Israeli evening with hits from the 70's and 80's! (No entrence fee)
