Dani Menkin’s portrait of a rugged individualist whose passion verges on obsession is a thrilling cinematic experience. Fearlessly adventurous, Amos Nachoum is one of the greatest underwater photographers of all time. At the age of 65, he has one last chance to fulfill his lifelong quest to be the first human to photograph polar bears while swimming with them without protection - as he has done with anacondas, giant leopard seals, great white sharks, orcas, and crocodiles. While he is on this daring journey to the Canadian high Arctic, the stoic sportsman and uncompromising artist must also confront a painful memory.

Picture of His Life

A famed Israeli wildlife photographer attempts to capture Polar Bears while swimming with them.

Dani Menkin returns with two films scheduled for last year’s festival, his tale of unlikely Israeli sports icon Aulcie Perry and his stunning portrait of a veteran wildlife photographer Amos Nachoum, who dreams of photographing a polar bear underwater. Dani was honored with a tribute program at our 2016 festival, which opened with his exhilarating “On the Map,” introducing African American basketball star Aulcie Perry’s amazing story. Dani, an Iraeli who lives in LA and makes English language films, will discuss “Aulcie” and “Picture of His Life” during his hour-long Q&amp;A.
