ZUBIN AND I 
Country: Israel 2010 Documentary The name Zubin Mehta has become synonymous with the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra, and this year marks the 50th anniversary of his involvement with the orchestra. Born in Mumbai, the world-renowned maestro first conducted the orchestra in 1961, was appointed as the orchestra’s Music Advisor in 1969, its Music Director in 1977, and in 1981, the orchestra awarded him the title of Music Advisor for Life. Filmmaker Ori Sivan, whose own grandmother was the orchestra’s first harpist in the days of Arturo Toscanini and Leonard Bernstein, tries to get closer to Mehta and understand the work of the conductor and his complex relationship with the orchestra's musicians. Sivan’s delightful and often humorous film offers an intimate portrait of the man, the music – and his deep connection to a country where his contribution has been significant and far-reaching.
