Yaky Yosha

Yaky Yosha is an international critically acclaimed, award-winning film director from Israel, known for realism. Yosha’s films have often stirred social controversy in his homeland and outside of it. About his work Yosha once said: "Art only as Aesthetics is meaningless. As an artist, I am trying to grasp the meaning of life. I ask questions related to myself and to the country in which I was born. I am trying to make movies and thus to find the answers. God knows if I’ll ever find them…" His films were shown at Cannes, IDFA, Locarno and other international film festivals.

Biography

Yaky Yosha was born in Tel-Aviv in 1951. In his youth, he created several shorts including The End (1968) with The Doors epic as its soundtrack, and The Killers (1970), based on a story by Hemingway.

In 1972 Yosha directed Shalom, his first feature film. The movie was independently produced and most of the cast and crew were personal friends. Young Yosha acted in the lead role while his wife, Dorit, who produced the film, played the female lead. Due to financial difficulties, the production extended for over a year. A similar period was needed for editing, and finally "the first and probably last Israeli hippie film," was completed.Shalom was considered prophetic, and regarded as the first political Israeli film ever made. Released immediately following the Yom Kippur War (1973), the film was a flop at the box office.
