Keren Hantman

Writer  //  Director

Keren Hantman sees the filmmaker as a social leader, one who has the ability to give the viewer not only a conceptual experience, but also open them to a different view on themselves and their society.

The need to listen, watch, tell and create stories has been an inseparable part of Keren Hantman’s life since she can remember herself. Keren has been working in film, television and theatre productions for the past 15 years.

When Noah, her first son was born, Keren discovered the advantages and disadvantages of being a filmmaker and mother. The inspiring yet overwhelming role of being a mother combined with the tension of work on film sets, a predominantly male environment, is what created her drive to write and direct films about the female experience, with the mission to help other women create as well.
