Amos Gitai, born in Haifa, in 1950, is an Israeli author and director. His long
filmography, in both documentary and fiction, explores the complexity of the
geopolitical reality of the Middle East and the Arab-Israeli conflict, through
trilogies on topics like the land, exile (Esther, 1985, Berlin-Jerusalem,
1989 and Golem, l’esprit de l’exil, 1991), the city and the
border (Terre Promise, 2004, Free Zone, 2005 and Désengagement,
2007). In Rabin, the Last Day (2015), he dissects the events behind the
assassination of Israel’s Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin. He has won prestigious
awards throughout his career, including the Rosselini Prize (2005) and the
Robert Bresson Prize (2013).
