Director
Eytan Fox is an Israeli director and screenwriter. He was born in New York, but his family moved to Israel when he was two years old. He studied at the University for Film and Television in Tel Aviv. He made his debut with the medium length feature After (1990), which was re-released in 2006 as Time Off as a part of the omnibus Boys Life 5. He often covered topics such as homosexuality and the military in his films, such as his feature debut Shirat Ha'Sirena (Song of the Siren, 1994) and love dramas Yossi & Jagger (2002) and The Bubble (Ha- Buah, 2007). In his thriller Walk on Water (2004) he questions issues that are at once private and political in the story of an Israeli member of Mossad and a German whose grandfather was a Nazi. He directed several episodes of the TV series Florentine (1997) and the short musical Ba'al Ba'al Lev (Gotta Have Heart, 1997).
