Highlight Films offers a wide range of production services for documentary films produced in Israel and Palestine.
We have provided professional production services for more than 300 documentary films produced in Israel and Palestine. We work with the leading production companies and broadcasters in Europe, Asia and the United States.
Range of production services
The experience of 20 years of filming documentary films in Israel prove that this area never ceases to attract documentary filmmakers. Whether they are interested in one specific location, such as Jerusalem, archaeology, documentary films in Jerusalem and documentary films in Tel Aviv ; the history of Christianity, Islam or Judaism; or follow a story related to the complicated political reality of the Middle East. We offer such productions a wide range of services to facilitate and affordable production in the highest professional standards.
We often provide productions with a full package of services – from the initial research to coordination, filming in all professional formats including High Definition, and post production. In many cases the director or producer / fixer / stringer are the only one’s traveling to Israel, while we are responsible for the professional crew and production staff. In other cases, we work together with a visiting crew
We appoint a coordinator (fixer) to each production. While the fixer is with the crew in the filming locations, he or she is constantly in touch with the Tel Aviv office. Our office coordinators provides them with news alerts, logistical assistance and online research work when needed.
Highlight Films employs both Israelis and Palestinians who are all experts in this field and speak many languages. Our coordinators were responsible for dozens of films dealing with both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: history, archaeology, sports and religion, as well as with current affairs reports.
Documentary Film Footage
Our stock footage archive is among the best in Israel. Most of it was filmed by our experienced documentary cameramen on location. We don’t film news for archive, but rather try to capture excellent documentary footage in news events. Our video archive offers professional shots of locations throughout the country, filmed on the ground and from the air.
Many significant events and locations in the recent history of Israel and Palestine are part of our footage library. So if you need only a few minutes of footage from Israel, we are sure we can get the best suitable footage for you.
Freelance Documentary Filmmakers
During the years we have developed long-standing relationships with some of the best freelance filmmakers in Israel and Palestine. Since 2002 many production companies approached us for filming, but couldn’t send their key personnel to Israel. In these cases we found the most suitable Israeli filmmakers to work with these productions. We are proud to state that the matchmaking was successful in all cases…
