“Giving To Life”, a multi-media proto-type of United Jewish Appeal community musical spectaculars, written, composed, directed and produced by Issachar Miron, won the Gold Medal at the 27th Annual Awards Competition of the International Film and TV Festival. The multi-image “Tree of Light”, Miron’s motivational/inspirational featurette, also a UJA production, won the Silver Medal.
Both Miron productions were chosen from among 4,866 entries submitted from the U.S. and 41 countries all over the world to the International Film and TV Festival, considered the world’s most comprehensive competition for visual communications. Also, “Partners in Faith”, a film written, composed and directed by Miron, won last year the Festival’s Gold Medal.
Miron, a composer, writer and film-maker best known for his international hit “Tzena Tzena Tzena” is a laureate of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers’ Deems Taylor Award for creative writing, and a winner of Israel’s Engel Music Prize.
His song, “Ufi Ruach,” became the first Hebrew song to be played by Radio Cairo on November 26, 1977 in the aftermath of President Anwar Sadat’s announcement of the convening of the Cairo conference.
