Taboo: Amos Guttman

Directed by Shauly Melamed

Amos Guttman stood apart from Israel’s conservative film scene. A Romanian migrant, he never fully belonged. Openly gay, he created the country’s first films on the subject, making deeply personal work for a niche audience while seeking connection beyond Israel, hoping filmmakers like Derek Jarman or Pedro Almodóvar would see themselves in his films.
