Uzi Peres Biography

Uzi Peres is one of the most popular and richest Celebrity who was born on February 21, 1951 in Geneva, Switzerland. Uzi Peres was born in Geneva, Switzerland on 21 February 1951 and raised in Tel Aviv. His father, Gershon Peres (1925-2011, better known as Gigi) was a building contractor, and the younger brother of future Prime Minister and President of Israel, Shimon Peres; his mother, Carmela Keyla Peres, was an athlete. His first cousin once removed was American movie star Lauren Bacall.

Returning to Israel in 1977, Peres became a founding member of Kayitz, also known as the Young Israeli Cinema group, with other filmmakers including Nissim Dayan, Nadav Levitan, Rachel and Yehuda Ne’eman, and Renen Schorr. The group published a manifesto in Kolnoa magazine, insisting that they shared no single ideology or aesthetic principles, but were united by their search of an innovative Israeli film language. Responding to the government’s preference to support other arts ahead of cinema, they suggested that Israeli films should be produced with small crews and low budgets, but they also lobbied for increased funding for non-commercial cinema, which led to the foundation of the Fund for the Encouragement of Original Quality Films in 1978. He only made one more short in Israel, however – 1978’s Hand Exercises, which won a Best Actor award at an Israeli short film competition.

Peres returned to France to make his first feature films: Pareil pas pareil (1978), L’amour mensonge (1979) and Shadow of a Game (1980). The first he directed in Israel was First Love (1982), produced by his sister, Ruth. Here, Yitzhak (played by Hanah Goldblatt) leaves his kibbutz during a midlife crisis returns to his first love, Ziva (Gila Almagor) now aged 40 with two teenage children, with inevitable complications for all involved. His final film, Me and My Wife’s Lover, was also made in Israel and produced by Ruth Peres, and released in 1983.

A plaque dedicates to Peres at Tel Aviv Cinematheque includes a quote from one of his early films, Pareil pas pareil (1978), which reads: “I would like to be able to turn every moment of life into a celebration, to build memorials to everything beautiful, to all that exists … in order to preserve and endlessly multiply all that a dream allows.”

Peres began his career with The Wait, a short 16mm film made in Israel in

1974. He continued to work in France, making three more short 16mm works: Choisir (1975), Cathédrales (1976), which won first prize at the short film festival in La Raincy, and Sans Draps (1977).
