Eran Riklis has been active in the movie world since 1975. After
graduating from Beaconsfield National Film School in England, he made
his first film in 1984, "On a clear Day you can see Damascus", a
political thriller based on a true story. Seven years later, he shot
"Cup Final", later hailed by international critics and selected in
several film festivals (among which were Berlin and Venice). In 1993
"Zohar" was a big hit in Israel. His 1999 "Vulcano Junction" is the
filmmaker's tribute to rock and roll. His next two efforts,
Syrian Bride (2004) and
Lemon Tree (2008) , have been acclaimed
on a worldwide scale, and not only in festivals. On the other hand,
Riklis has directed shorts, commercials and TV series. He is married,
has two children, lives in Tel Aviv but regards himself not only as an
Israeli but as a world director. Which he has proved in filming
Playoff (2011) in Germany and
Zaytoun (2012) in Israel but for the
English-speaking market.
