- The Israeli filmmaker Tal Granit was born in Tel Aviv in 1969. She graduated from Jerusalem's Sam Spiegel Film School. In 2006 she wrote and directed with her partner Sharon Maymon 'Mortgage', winner of the Best Drama Award at the Jerusalem Film Festival. They partnered again on two shorts, 'To kill a bumblebee' in 2009 and 'Summer vacation' in 2012. In 2010, the duo won the Best Pitch Award at the Berlinale for the script of 'My sweet euthanasia', on which 'The farewell party' is partially based. That controversial and acclaimed film has since then been selected as part of the 2014 editions of Venice International Film Festival's Venice Days and also Toronto International Film Festival.

- Although many people think that Tal Granit is a man and Sharon Maymon a woman, the truth is that they are just the opposite. The confusion is due to the fact that in Israel both names are really unisex.
