Christian & Biblical documentary Films: Our production experience
Biblical, religious, Christian Film Production in Israel
Highlight Films is Israel’s leading production house for Biblical film productions in Israel & Palestine. We produced and managed dozens of films, TV series and videos, focusing on Christian and Biblical themes: Biblical productions and other religious topics; PBS’ Walking the Bible and Sacred Journeys; Discovery network Expedition Unknown (3 eps); National Geographic Lost Cities (3 eps) BBC and Channel 4 historical and archaeological documentary films; video productions for Christian churches and ministries from all over the world.
In 2010-2013 we produced the filming of ‘Jerusalem 3D IMAX’, an epic historical documentary about Jerusalem and its history.
In 2017-2019 we produced 3 annual projects for ZDF (Germany), which included the production of Christmas concert in the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem (presented by Marcus Lanz), and a documentary film to accompany it.
Since the beginning of the Covid pandemic, we have switched to full remote production. We have both the gear and the experience to offer our customers full control over the local shoot in Israel, without leaving their homes.
We are acquainted with many of the scholars and experts on the history of religions in the country. Our fixers in Israel and Palestine are familiar with all religious and Biblical locations. Our camera crews have filmed there many times. We know how to get access to the locations; what does it take to obtain film permits; what times of the day or what month of the year are best to film there; and we can always offer additional locations.
