Amos Guttman

Died in 1993

Amos Guttman, born in 1954 in Sita Buzăului, in Romanian Transylvania, arrived in Israel at the age of seven with his family and studied cinema at the Beit Zvi school. He made short films from 1975 to 1982, then four feature films from 1983. An openly gay man, he directed the first Israeli film on this theme, and most of his films deal with gay life, the last with AIDS. He belonged to the group of young filmmakers who defended quality cinema against commercial cinema, and died of AIDS in Tel Aviv in 1993, aged thirty-eight.
