Simcha Jacobovici est un Acteur, Réalisateur, Scénariste et Producteur Canadien né le 4 avril 1953 à Petah Tikva (Israel)
Simcha Jacobovici (/ˈsɪm.hə jəˈkoʊbɵvɪtʃ/; born April 4, 1953) is a Canadian Israeli film director, producer, free-lance journalist, and writer. He is an Emmy winner for Outstanding Investigative Journalism and a New York Times best selling author.
His filmmaking awards include a Certificate of Special Merit from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, a Gold Medal from the International Documentary Festival of Nyon, three U.S. Cable Ace Awards, two Gemini Awards, an Alfred I. Dupont-Columbia University Award and, from the Overseas Press Club of America, the Carl Spielvogel Award and Edward R. Murrow Award. In 2013 he won a Gold Dolphin from the Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards.
Jacobovici earned a B.A. in Philosophy and Political Science (w/honors) from McGill University and an M.A. in International Relations from the University of Toronto. He is an honorary Adjunct Professor of Religious Studies at Huntington University, an affiliate of Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario. Jacobovici has been a guest lecturer at numerous conferences and on various campuses including Yale, Johns Hopkins, McGill, UCLA and York University.
Throughout his career Jacobovici has courted controversy. He was one of the first to advocate for the airlift of the Ethiopian Jews to Israel. His New York Times op-ed pieces on the subject and his first documentary "Falasha: Exile of the Black Jews" caused a storm in the Jewish community worldwide and in the media. His film "The Plague Monkeys" caused a level four biosafety lab slated for opening in Toronto to remain closed. In 2013 his film (directed by his associate Ric Esther Bienstock) "Tales From the Organ Trade" has once again raised the issue of decriminalizing kidney sales. In contrast, his 1991 film on the Palestinian/Israeli conflict "Deadly Currents" was runner up for the Peace Prize at the Berlin Film Festival, and was screened in Israeli and Palestinian settings.
For the past ten years, Jacobovici has conducted historical and archaeological investigations. He calls his technique "investigative archaeology". As a result, Jacobovici has appeared on shows including Anderson Cooper 360, Larry King Live, The Oprah Winfrey Show, NBC Today, and ABC Nightline. His most controversial claim is to have identified the Tomb of Jesus of Nazareth and his family in the Talpiot suburb of Jerusalem. He is involved in an ongoing libel suit against Joe Zias, a former curator and anthropologist at the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA).
He hosted three seasons of The Naked Archaeologist on VisionTV in Canada and The History Channel in the United States. In 2013 the series began to be broadcast on the Israel Broadcast Authority (IBA) Channel 1.
Jacobovici has written for many top newspapers around the world including the New York Times, the International Herald Tribune, the Globe and Mail, the Los Angeles Times and others. At present he blogs on SimchaJTV and The Times of Israel. He occasionally writes for the Jerusalem Post.
