Part of the 2025 SVJFF’s Tribute to Avi Nesher

From Turn Left at the End of the World to The Monkey House, Avi Nesher has shaped Israeli cinema for over five decades. At just 24, Nesher directed The Troupe, later hailed by Haaretz as the greatest Israeli film of all time. Now, after 20 films and decades of acclaim, he steps in front of the camera. His Own Way explores the essence of Nesher’s storytelling—deeply personal yet never strictly autobiographical—as it traces his unique blend of drama, comedy, and musical genres, and his enduring connection to Israel’s cultural landscape.
