Born and raised in Israel, Alma Har’el began her work as a photographer and a video artist. While working in New York and London, her live video-art performances with musicians led her to directing music videos, and her frequent collaborations with singer Zach Condon of the band Beirut brought her several nominations in film and music video festivals around the world. The video for Beirut’s “Elephant Gun” was chosen as one of the best videos of the decade in 2010 by several publications. Her work is recognized for her expression through modern dance, landscape and character and for her ability to create images with an honest balance of emotions; heavy-hearted as much as they are joyful and playful. Har’el currently lives in Los Angeles.
