Last June I graduated four years of film studies in two parallel tracks, feature and documentary. In the final year of my studies, I directed and produced a feature film and a documentary film. Two of my films were supported by various film funds in Israel, and these days my films are distributed at festivals.
I came to film studies after years as a psychotherapist. I graduated from therapy studies, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and movement therapy. I graduated with a MA in movement therapy. I served as an instructor and a lecturer at movement therapy colleges and guided therapists’ training groups.
In addition, I have a B. ed in movement and as part of those studies I taught movement to actors and dance groups and I was a member of movement research groups of authentic movement for years.
