Ophir Kutiel - aka Kutiman - is a songwriter, producer, orchestra leader, mixologist, and filmmaker: Kutiman’s job description changes by the day. “Psychedelic space funk Architect” is just another used about him. While he may be too modest to agree, everything the Israeli musician does comes under one general description: pioneer. Skilled in several mediums of art, Kutiman launched into the music scene in 2007 with the worldwide debut of his critically acclaimed, self-titled album. It received raving reviews from top music critics including Pitchfork, XLR8R, The Fader and DJ Magazine. Just two years later, Kutiman’s interest in the alchemy of digital video art and warm soulful music saw his groundbreaking online music video “mash-up” series ThruYOU soar to an incredible ten million views on YouTube in only two weeks. It was later named one of the “50 Best Inventions of 2009” by Time Magazine, inspiring Kutiman to create more audiovisual magic in the years to come. In 2015, the documentary titled Presenting Princess Shaw was produced about Kutiman and the star of his hit song “Give It Up.” The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and received rave reviews across various media outlets. The BBC called Presenting Princess Shaw “a coherent and captivating documentary” while MTV labeled it “a total delight.” The film was then picked up by Participant Media and Magnolia Pictures and has been taken on a world tour at various film festivals. Recently it won the Israeli Academy Award (Ophir Awards) for “Best Documentary.” The film has also recently become available on Netflix, Amazon video, and iTunes.
