I lived in Tel aviv, Berlin and New york in the past years. I have directed two Documentary series. One is “Dancing with tears in my eyes” (2009) That deals with the Israeli clubbing culture as (...) an anti-zionist-Ethos movement. The second is “Off season” (2012), The stories of five men that escaped to the deep desert town-Eilat. the most isolated city in Israel. I also directed three documentary films: “Stefan Braun” (2008) The story of a legendary Tel-avivian fur designer in the 50’s and his secret love story with a young man and “Four years of night” (2012), about a photographer that portrayed the intimate life of a violent Neo-Nazi gang in Paris. The third one is a short named “Hana” (2015). All the projects screened in festivals, TV channels and won prizes around the world. In the fiction department, I wrote a Drama-Thriller called “Sick lake” That was supported by Medienboard and the Israeli film fund. It also Got “24/7 Berlin” residence and Nipkow program residence in addition to “Torino film lab”. The film is in the stages of funding. This days I’m finishing a new script - “Dark Room” that won the first prize in the Jerusalem International film lab 2015. Planned to be shot in the end of 2016.
