Cloven Hoofed premiered at the 27th Rotterdam International Film Festival in February 1998. In their invitation, Rotterdam programmers said the intention was to include the film in "The Cruel Machine" (together with Peeping Tom), a program which is to "do justice to some very recent disturbing, but great films. Films that revitalize the ongoing and urgent as never before creating debates about the really dark side of the image. By no means we are looking exclusively for the hard core or the extreme but we do not want to avoid it either. We would like to follow sincere, courageous and uncompromising film-makers all the way. Maybe sometimes the films in this programme will be tough to watch, but they will deserve the effort."

Press Quotations

"Harsh theatrical monologue by a desperate man."
27th Rotterdam Film Festival, Netherlands

"Cloven Hoofed ist simple, great and disturbing."
Brian Wendorf, Chicago Underground Film Festival, 1998

"Somehow disturbing! I liked very much the look and the mood of the film. Keep it up! When will we see your first feature-length film?"
Splatting Image Magazine, Berlin, Germany

"Typical New York art cinema in the style of Richard Kern and Nick Zedd. Filmed literature."
Videodrom, Berlin, Germany

"I like the shot composition most. Also the actor has a very interesting face. It's hard to get a face like that. The dialogue and the cadence both remind me of a not so innocent version of a Paddy Chayefsky play, or those old TV plays that were done in the 50's. I like the shot of him ranting as the woman fingered her vagina over his head. Is this how men really feel when they get mad at us?"
Tamara Hernandez, Director of MEN CRY BULLETS, USA

"About as far from a 'date' film as you are likely to find, this abrasive short has the same intensity as the best of the '80s underground efforts, except instead of their slap dash technique, Post recruits an expert crew for the project. It's much appreciated."
Steve Puchalski, USA
