Hundreds of Beavers (12A)

Mike Cheslik’s delightfully mad-cap adventure story is an irresistible, endlessly inventive comedy.

Painstakingly hand-crafted with nods to silent era slapstick and playful special effects sequences, Hundreds of Beavers is a one-of-a-kind triumph of independent filmmaking. 

This wildly entertaining slapstick epic is set in the 19th century where a drunken applejack salesman must go from zero to hero and become North America’s greatest fur trapper by defeating hundreds of beavers. 

Jean Kayak finds himself stranded in a surreal winter landscape with nothing but his dim wits to guide him.

Against a backdrop of ruthless elements and sinister creatures – all played by actors in full-sized mascot costumes – Kayak develops increasingly complex traps in order to overcome his beaver enemies and win the hand of a mischievous lover.
