Dorit Naaman is a documentarist and film theorist born and raised in Jerusalem. She teaches film and media at Queen’s University in Ontario (Canada) and splits her time between Canada and Jerusalem.
Naaman developed a format of short personal documentaries, which she calls DiaDocuMEntaRy. She has published on Israeli and to a lesser extent Palestinian cinema, focusing on gender, nationalism and militarism.
She initiated Jerusalem, We Are Here as a collaborative platform that can map and tell the stories of a Jerusalem that is no longer visible”
