Nesher

When Nesher was 24 years old, he directed one of the most successful and influential films in Israeli film history called The Troupe. 50 years later and 20 movies under his belt, this time Nesher is the one in front of the camera.

“All my movies are personal without being autobiographical,” says Avi Nesher, a filmmaker who combines his personal life and the history of Israel in his films. This documentary examines the DNA of Nesher’s cinematic creations , which include musicals, dramas, and comedies, chronicling the homeland in which he started his career at the age of 24 and where he continues to create at 71.
