Daniel Wachsmann

Daniel Wachsmann, born in 1946 in Shanghai to Jewish parents who had fled Nazism, arrived in Israel in 1948 and grew up in Tel Aviv. After his military service, he studied theatre at the Beit Zvi school and then cinema in London. His short films won prizes at Mannheim in 1974 and were honoured at Oberhausen. His 1982 film on relations between Jews and Arabs in Galilee was nominated for the Oscar and won a prize at Locarno, and Israeli critics made it the film of the decade; he has since made about ten films and lives in Tel Aviv.
