Amos Gitai is a controversial Israeli film-maker. Trained as an architect, his documentaries and features display his own distinct style, often enhanced by the camerawork of Henri Alekan and Nurith Aviv. Since the documentary House, Gitai's films have been banned by Israeli TV and most of his work has been produced in France, Britain and Italy.
Amos Gitai is the most well-known Israeli filmmaker of all time.

"Border Witness offers a surprising catalogue of films dealing with the US-Mexico border and released during the past 100 years. It compares these screen visions with what was happening on the ground at the time in both countries. From revolution through to the present global crisis, the films are left to speak for themselves, but their stories are measured alongside the author's experience following decades of research, writing, and activism along the line. Taken together, this book outlines a unique Border Film genre just now entering its Golden Age. This book also comes with a message to both nations that they should learn more from borderlanders about how to conduct cross-border lives"--
This unique volume illuminates a fascinating area of cinema. Each chapter covers the history and major issues of film within that area, as well as providing bibliographies of the leading films, directors and actors.
