Avital's 2006 film ...More Than 1000 Words about Israel's leading war photographer Ziv Koren received numerous international awards and has been screened in countries such as USA, Japan, Canada, China, Israel, Germany, Austria and other European countries. The film was produced by Oliver Berben of "MOOVIE the art of entertainment" and is distributed by "Telepool" Germany.
