Ali Nassar was born on September 11, 1954, in the Galilee village of Arraba, into a family of 14. As a child he worked on the family plot and watched Egyptian films and Lebanese operettas.
In 1975 he received a scholarship from the Communist Party to study in Moscow. He studied acting there and in 1981 completed a master's degree in directing at the film academy in Moscow.
After returning to Israel, he founded a theater group in Arraba and directed 4 plays. He then worked as a photographer for the Haifa daily Al-Ittihad. His documentary films from 1983 and 1994 were not released to the public.
His first feature, The Milky Way, came out in 1997 and won the Israeli screenplay prize at the Jerusalem Film Festival.
