Born in Haifa, Israel, in 1950. In the early seventies, studying architecture at the Israel Institute of Technology, he began to direct short films, the first of these being Ahare (1974). Soon after, he enlisted to fight the Yom Kippur war, a dramatic experience that was to be the basis for his film Kippur (28th Mostra). He made a number of films including Esther (1985), The Arena of Murder (1996, selection for the 20th Mostra), Kadosh (1999, 23rd Mostra) and the documentary Wadi Grand Canyon (2001, 25th and 28th Mostra). At the 26th Mostra, he was one of the directors from the collective project 11’09’’01 September 11 and winner of the Critics Prize with Kedma. He was acknowledged by the 28th Mostra with a retrospective, an exhibition at FAAP, and the release of a book, Amos Gitai. Free Zone was awarded the prize for best actress to Hanna Laszlo at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.
