Uri Bar-On, portait

I never thought I would become a filmmaker until I became one. I was on my way to becoming a businessman when I decided to attend some courses at the MFA program of the Tel-Aviv University film department, just because I thought it might be interesting. During my first year, I directed a very successful short film that went all the way to the Sundance Film Festival, and thus, I found myself embarking on a career as a filmmaker.

I was offered jobs directing and writing for television, and new ideas started flashing in my head. This was over twenty years ago, and I haven't stopped since.

Starting in 2010, I realized that creating films and teaching enriched me. Since then, I have taught in several prestigious Israeli schools of cinema, all with international recognition. In 2023, the MGDSII fund chose me to serve as a guest faculty member at San Diego State University. Since then, I've been exploring lecturing opportunities at international universities and colleges.

On this website, you're invited to explore the films and projects I've created over the years. Feel free to get inspired, and don't hesitate to reach out for collaboration or to invite me to speak or lecture at your institute.
