Biography
Boaz Davidson was born November 8, 1943, in Tel Aviv. When he was growing up he received a government scholarship that allowed him to attend the London Film School. He has directed, written and produced numerous films, both for major studios and low-budget.

He directed "Sabul" in 1971, and the Israeli cult films "Charlie Ve'hetzi" in 1974 and "Hagiga B'Snuker" in 1975.
