David Fisher
David Fisher has been writing, producing and directing documentaries for Israeli television since 1989. The films he creates are based on meticulous research and are motivated by the quest for social justice. ‘Love Inventory’ is Fisher’s first autobiographical film, although all of his work reveals his own involved and personal attitude. In 1999, Fisher was appointed the director of the New Documentary Foundation for TV and Cinema in Israel. His past films include ‘Little Big Sister’ (1998), an intimate profile of a Swedish writer; ‘A Shepherd’s Affair’ (1997), about Jewish and Druze cattle growers on the Golan Heights; and ‘Buried Alive’ (1996), in which an abandoned woman goes after her husband who disappeared 20 years earlier.
