The forefathers of the Israeli cinema, Efrayim Kishon, Uri Zohar and Menahem Golan, come from theatre and the show business. They have sharp senses for the audience. They step into a small film industry with practically no budget. With lots of humor and tons of courage, they manage to make headlines: Oscar nominations and Can Festival prizes. The movies of the 1960’s and the 1970’s become more and more ambitious. They present a portrait of the newly forming Israeli society, a society of emigrants and soldiers, where humor, irony and underdogs are the true heroes.
