Our Film Productions in Israel
Highlight Films has provided production services to American and European feature film productions shot in Israel and Palestine since 1998, managed by our Israeli and Palestinian teams alongside visiting staff.
A Local Partner for Film Productions
In some film projects, only a few scenes are filmed in Israel, so we often film plates for completion of studio work abroad. We work with the best film industry professionals and suppliers in Israel, and our production team is experienced preparing and managing complicated sets. Professional feature film equipment is largely available in Israel; note that we no longer shoot on film itself, since there are no remaining professional film-processing labs in the country — for art video and IMAX shoots on film, we courier daily reels to Europe or the US for processing.
