Sami Kafati

Sami Kafati was born in 1936, into a family of Palestinian Arab descent. He made his first attempts in eight-millimetre film in 1956, with no training at all, then studied directing at the Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali in Rome in the sixties. In 1970 he filmed election campaign broadcasts in Chile and took part in a documentary on Pablo Neruda. He died in 1996; his feature film, begun in the mid-eighties, was completed after his death by his widow and his son.
