Michal Weits

Michal Weits is the artistic director of the international documentary film festival Docaviv and a resilient Israeli filmmaker who survived an Iranian missile strike on her home in Tel Aviv. The attack left her injured and destroyed her family's residence, but she continued to pursue her work in filmmaking, receiving an Emmy Award just days after the incident for her documentary about the Nova massacre. Weits embodies the duality of life in Israel, balancing the chaos of conflict with the determination to celebrate life and creativity.
