Aviya's Summer (Hebrew: הקיץ של אביה; translit. Ha-Kayitz Shel Aviya) is a Hebrew-language book that became a bestseller. The 1985 autobiographical novel by theater actress Gila Almagor was made into a film released in 1988. The 96-minute film acts as a memoir of Almagor's childhood and provides insights into Israeli society in the early post-state period. Directed by Eli Cohen, the film was shot on location in Kfar Avraham, Petach Tikvah, Israel.
