ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Robert Magid
The owner of Polaris Films and producer of “Eyeless in Gaza”, Robert Magid has a varied career having been an economist, an investment banker, a toy designer and manufacturer, a director of a TV media company. He is currently an owner of a media company, hotels, restaurants and other properties.
His interests include photography, media analysis, scriptwriting and cinematography. Having lived in the Middle East he has a strong interest in this area.
Robert is particularly interested in the factors at play in determining what the media presents and in “Eyeless in Gaza” is using the Gaza War of 2014 as a platform; pointing the camera at the media while the media is pointing the camera at events. This leads to some interesting and surprising conclusions.
