Taboo: Amos Guttman

While alive, Amos Guttman was a red flag for Israel's conservative film establishment. A Romanian migrant, he never found a place in his new home. As a gay filmmaker, he created the nation's first films on the subject. Guttman aimed to make films for the few, yet he also wanted global connections — films that Derek Jarman or Pedro Almodóvar could watch by chance and feel understood. Despite his adventurous spirit, Guttman made only four features before dying of AIDS. TABOO – Amos Guttman uses excerpts from his last interview, letting historical materials tell his story and reevaluate his choices on and off the set.
