Jonah Malak
Filmmaker, Co-Founder and Producer
Jonah Malak is a documentary filmmaker and content producer at Nemesis Films, which he co-founded. After studying mathematics and cinema, he dedicated his time and work to the most beautiful profession in the world: documentary filmmaking.
His films are at the junction of several disciplines and cultures, with two feature films and several short films to his credit: Mystic Mass and My Tuesdays At Catherine’s, (under the name of Karim Haroun) two anthropological documentaries on religious phenomena; Dave Not Coming Back, a fascinating caving diving story shot in South Africa and Australia. His next film, The Dignity of Our Beloved, portrays migrant life on the desert border that separates Mexico and the United States.
