Lia van Leer, an Israeli cinema pioneer and Israel Prize laureate, died on Saturday in Jerusalem aged 90.
Born in Romania, she moved to Israel and studied at Hebrew University where she met her future husband, Dutch filmmaker and engineer Wim van Leer.
They founded Israel's first cinema club in the 1950s before she went on to establish the Jerusalem Cinematheque, the Israel Film Archive and the Jerusalem Film Festival.
Van Leer was awarded the Israel Prize in 2004 for her life's achievements and the President's Medal last year.
