Peter Emanuel Goldman

He enrolled in university, first in New York and then at La Sorbonne in Paris, but did not complete his studies.

Returning to New York, he was given an old 8 mm camera from his father, and he began shooting street scenes in Greenwich Village.

[2] His first feature-length film Echoes of Silence took the sorts of everyday scenes he had been shooting and created a fictional story in which to place them, following the adventures of an aimless young man wandering the streets of New York.

[1][2] Goldman returned to Europe to shoot his next film Wheel of Ashes, starring Pierre Clémenti.

He directed its 1983 documentary NBC in Lebanon: A Study in Media Misrepresentation, which alleged that NBC Nightly News' coverage of the 1982 Lebanon War was biased against Israel in favor of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
