Director Biography - Gal Genossar
Gal Genossar - a talented filmmaker with a passion for storytelling. From his early days as a film student, Gal has always strived to create meaningful and impactful films. In 2012, Gal directed his first short film, Room 101, a suspense drama about the interrogation rooms of the Israeli General Security Service. The film received international recognition. In 2014, he pushed the boundaries of filmmaking even further with his experimental short film, The Garden Keeper. Blending animation and live-action, this film received worldwide acclaim.
Between 2014 and 2019, Gal directed series for one of the Israeli children's channels, bringing his creativity to a whole new audience. At the same time, Gal continued to improve his skills, working as a cinematographer on various feature films, bringing the stories of other filmmakers to life on the screen. In 2019 Gal was called to direct a full-length film set during the biblical period, created specifically for the religious sector in Israel. The film was a testament to Gal's ability to connect with audiences of all backgrounds. In this film, all of the heroines were strong women who fought for their destiny, providing empowering perspective on a story that has been told countless times before.
In 2022 and 2023, Gal directed two films that demonstrated his growth as a filmmaker. “The Monopol” is a short film about the holocaust of the Macedonian Jews, a heartfelt tribute to those who suffered during one of the darkest periods in history.
