He has directed and animated children's television, received multiple awards for his children's books, and taught illustration at Bezalel, Israel's prestigious art academy. Most recently, Polonksy produced the animated film Waltz with Bashir for which he gained international notoriety. Recent accolades include the Golden Globe Award for best foreign language film, the top prize at the Cannes film festival, the Best Picture by the National Society of Film Critics and a nomination for an Academy Award for best foreign film have made Polonsky's name a household word among film buffs around the world. The movie, a full-length animated documentary, is the product of director Ari Folman's muddled memory of the 1982 Lebanon war.
