Biography
Ben Dov was born in what is now the Ukraine and attended the Academy of the Arts in Kiev.[2] He came to Israel with the Second Aliyah.
He was a graduate of the Bezalel Academy.[3]
Ben Dov shot some of the earliest footage of an archaeological expedition, the excavation of the Hammat Tiberias Synagogue, in 1920. The footage was used in his film Shivat Zion (Return to Zion).[4]
Baruch Agadati purchased Ben Dov's film archives in 1934, when Ben Dov retired from filmmaking. Agadati and his brother Yitzhak used it to start the AGA Newsreel.[5][6]
