Production

Director Jonathan Paz grew up on Kibbutz Mizra in northern Israel, where he was a member until 1971. In a 2009 interview, Paz stated: “The idea for the film came to me some seven years ago, in the final year of my dear mother's life.

The Galilee Eskimos pays tribute to the founding generation of kibbutzniks and Paz's respect for the egalitarian values and mutual help their lives embodied. In the same 2009 interview, Paz emphasized that "I made my film with a great deal of love, nostalgia, longing and homage to those people who founded the kibbutz. I really admire and love those people."
