Amichai Chasson

Since 2015, Chasson has served as the artistic director and chief curator at the Beit Avi Chai cultural museum in Jerusalem.

[6] Chasson has worked as a journalist and literary critic for the papers Yedioth Ahronoth, Makor Rishon, and Maariv, and as a speechwriter for then President of Israel, Reuven Rivlin.

His first book of poetry, "Talking with Home" (Hebrew: מדבר עם הבית), was published in 2015, and won the Minister of Culture's prize that year.

His poems often deal with the tension between his religious faith and artistic sensibilities, and stand on the border between cultures, identities, sources and places.

[14] He has written and directed a number of films and TV series, including "The Conductor" ("Hamenatzeach") and "Iron Dome" ("Kipat Barzel").
