Alma Har'el (Hebrew: עלמה הראל) (born July 2, 1975) is an Israeli-American music video and film director. She is best known for her 2019 feature film debut Honey Boy, for which she won a Directors Guild of America Award.[1][2]
Her 2011 documentary Bombay Beach, which took the top prize at Tribeca Film Festival,[3] received a nomination for an Independent Spirit Award.[4] In 2016, her documentary LoveTrue won the Grand Prix Best Documentary Award at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.[5] The same year, Har'el was named one of the "Top 12 female filmmakers ready to direct a blockbuster" by IndieWire.[6]
Har'el is noted for her ability to artistically blur the lines between documentary and fiction. Stephan Holden of The New York Times wrote about Har'el's film Bombay Beach: "[it] looks and feels like a fever dream about an alternate universe. Suffused with a sense of wonder, it hovers, dancing inside its own ethereal bubble".[7]
