RAED ANDONI
DIRECTOR & PRODUCER
PALESTINE
For his polarizing second film GHOST HUNTING – in which he assembled a group of ex-prisoners to build a replica of Israel’s main interrogation centre where he himself had been jailed at the age of 18 – Raed took home the inaugural Glasshütte Original Documentary Award in 2017 for the best nonfiction film playing that year across any of Berlinale’s festival sections. An Arab version of Joshua Oppenheimer’s THE ACT OF KILLING, it is nominated for Best Documentary in The Critics Awards.
