Michael Grynszpan

Director, The Shoshani Riddle

Michael Grynszpan was born and raised in Paris, France, and moved to Israel in 1995 to study film at the Tel Aviv University. He worked as a film editor and reporter for international channels. He set up a media production company in 2000. Since then, he has produced and directed many documentary films. Among them:

– “The Forgotten Refugees” about the history of the Jews in Arab countries.
– “Descendants of nazis: an infernal heritage”
– “Out of the spectrum”
– “Toulouse between pink and grey”
– “Manitou – the renewed speech”.

“The Shoshani Riddle” is his most personal film and the first in which he also appears on screen. It had a big impact in Israel and became a cult movie — it seems that almost everyone in the country saw and talked about it. It also received the award for Best Documentary of the Year from the Israeli Film Critics Association.
