Yoni Goldstein is an Israeli born, Chicago based filmmaker, cinematographer, and editor whose work puts forward multi-sited interpretations of myth, conflict, and diaspora. Developing multiple variations on the documentary, Yoni has gone on to work on a number of socially critical film projects: from examining hybridized healing practices in the Northern Andes ("La Curación") to diaristic journeys through post-revolution Lithuania ("Cousin Kasyte") to windows of dialogue in the Palestinian / Jewish Diaspora ("Zeitouna"). His films have circulated in numerous regional, national, and international festivals, conferences, and showcases. In 2009, he received his masters from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Film, Video, and New Media.

In 2003, Yoni Goldstein opened Standing Point Films, an independent film and video production house. He and Meredith Zielke envision, design, and lead this organization from the ground up to develop independent and experimental media projects. Since its inception, Standing Point Films has produced and supported over thirty films and video projects and continues to operate as a successful documentary production company.
