Omer Fast (Jerusalem, Israel, 1972) lives in New York and Berlin.
He uses his films to explore the various possibilities offered by the cinematic medium: possibilities of expressing emotions, of confronting personal stories with public concerns, of concentrating on individuals or integrating their environments in a broader historical context. The borders of the documentary film genre begin to melt when Omer Fast links and manipulates the collective imagery and the individual unconscious on the same layer of his medium.
