Hanan Harchol

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10″][vc_column_text]Born in Israel and raised in the United States, Hanan Harchol has been a public high school teacher in New York City for the past 12 years, teaching filmmaking to students who are for the most part socio-economically disadvantaged. “I made this film because I felt that often the portrayal of teachers on film and television was a comedic caricature of the profession. I wanted to show what teachers really go through and begin a discourse on how to better support teachers, and with that, how to better support our disadvantaged student population.” Hanan is a New York based teacher, filmmaker, animator, fine artist, and classical guitarist. About a Teacher is his first feature film.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”18907″ img_size=”large” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https://centrefilm.org/directors-panels/”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
