'CAPRICCI' a student film by Shimon Shemtov completed in 1997.
This is one of two films which brought Shimon the opportunity to work for his cinematic hero, Jan Svankmajer, whom he served as Script Supervisor and Puppet Builder on 'OTESANEK' (Little Oitk) and as a Producer on LUNACY.
'CAPRICCI' features the beautiful music of Paganini and Roland Kirk, the beautiful dancing of The Metropolitan Opera's Antoniette Peloso, and the wonderful acting of Tom Trenkel and Baruch Shemtov.
