biography
Eytan was born in New York, but grew up in Israel, where his parents returned when he was a child. He later studied film and television studies in Tel Aviv.
His debut work After, an award-winning short film, already addressed the subject of homosexuality , which he took up again and again in other film projects. He worked on several films with his current partner, Gal Uchovsky , an Israeli screenwriter and producer. In 1994 he made his first movie The Song of the Siren (Shirat Ha'Sirena) . The film was an overwhelming success commercially and became the most successful film of the year in Israel in 1994.
The feature film The Bubble, which, like the films Yossi & Jagger and Walk on Water , deals with the lives of gay men in Israel today, was awarded the readers' prize of the gay and lesbian magazine Siegessäule at the 57th Berlinale .
