Dover Kosashvili is a Georgian-born Israeli director, screenwriter, and film actor. His short film, With Rules (Im Hukim) (1999), which he wrote and directed during his studies at Tel Aviv University won him awards both at the Jerusalem and Cannes film festivals. In 2001, he directed Late Marriage, his first feature-length film, starring Lior Ashkenazi and the late Ronit Elkabetz. The film went on to become of the most successful Israeli productions of all time. It was shown around the world, winning scores of awards, including the Wolgin Prize at the Jerusalem Film Festival and a whopping 10 Ophir awards (four of which went to the cast, with an additional two going straight to Kosashvili for writing and directing.) Kosahvili later directed a string of feature films including Gift from Above (2003), Infiltration (2010), Single Plus (2012), and Love Birds (2017). In 2019, he took home another Ophir Award, this time for an acting role in Gur Bentwich’s Peaches and Cream.
