The Israel Film Fund was established in 1979 to address the need for a public fund that would support Israeli filmmakers produce outstanding, innovative, and groundbreaking films.
The main goal of the Israel Film Fund is to facilitate the production of full-length Israeli feature films produced by Israeli production companies and to support their marketing and distribution in Israel and abroad. Throughout the years, the Israel Film Fund has positioned itself as the Israeli film industry’s main body of support for full-length feature films.
Since its establishment, the Fund is proud to have supported the production of nearly 500 full-length feature films reflecting Israel’s rich social and cultural fabric.
Many of the Israeli films supported by the Fund have gone on to become cornerstones in Israel’s cultural heritage. The Israel Film Fund also supports and encourages international co-productions, to expand the scope of Israeli and global filmmaking relations.
