Effi & Amir

Effi & Amir are artists-filmmaker working as a duo since 1999. They were born in Israel and have been living in Brussels since 2005. Studied fine arts at the Bezalel Academy, Jerusalem and The Sandberg Institut, Amsterdam and taught themselves, much later, how to make films. Their work, which employs audiovisual media, performance and participatory strategies, is located in the blurry area between documentary and fiction, and is dealing with construction mechanisms – of identity, of history and of the artwork itself.

Effi & Amir’s work was recently awarded the Moving Image Prize at Rencontres internationales Paris/Berlin 2022 and they are laureates of the Scam’s 2021 “Prix de parcours” for audiovisual documentary work.
