About Me

ALEXANDER SHISHKIN

Filmmaker · Director · Producer

I create stories about people and ideas that change the world around us. For many years I've worked in media, documentary filmmaking, and podcasts in Israel.

What matters to me isn't just a beautiful shot, but truly hearing the person, understanding the essence of their story, and conveying it to the viewer honestly and with respect.

Journey

How I Got Here

A short account of where it all started and what it led to — based on real projects and numbers, not words.

2011
Moved to Israel
Immigrated to Israel to live and work — the starting point of everything below.
2012
First Edit
Started teaching myself video and experimenting with editing — no camera, no studio, just curiosity.
2014
Started Working With Mirtec
Filming promotional videos for Israeli banks — my first long-term client and the start of my work in commercial video.
2015
My Own Studio — ArtEffect
Made the film "Strivers!" — now as the idea author, director, and cinematographer under my own brand.
2016
GalilTV and My First Award
Music video "Fragrant Land" (Valery Korop) for GalilTV, and 2nd place at the "Svetlo" Film Festival.
2019
"Jerusalem" and "We Will Live"
A music video for Darina Kochanzhi that would go on to reach 12.6M views, and a documentary film about Valery Korop.
2020
Three Christian Online Film Festival Awards
Best Documentary, Best Producer, and the Inspire Award — for the film "We Will Live".
2021
Official Selection at CFF and New Projects for GalilTV
The investigation "Who Is Hamas?" and the music video "ABBA" (Andrey Levin).
2021
"Israel: 2000 Years of Exile" — Nearly 1M Views
This documentary overview for GalilTV reached further than any other project: nearly a million views and over 2,300 comments — the best reach of all my documentary work.
Today
Full-Cycle Production
I run the GalilTV channel — 45,031 subscribers, 156.8K views over the last 28 days — and film podcasts, personal brand content, and live broadcasts: from concept and venue to finished edit.
