Christian & Biblical documentary Films: Our production experience
Biblical, religious, Christian Film Production in Israel
Highlight Films is Israel’s leading house for Biblical film production in Israel & Palestine. Over the years, we have produced and managed dozens of films, TV series and videos on Christian and Biblical themes. For example, we worked on PBS’ Walking the Bible and Sacred Journeys, Discovery’s Expedition Unknown (3 episodes) and National Geographic Lost Cities (3 episodes). In addition, we produced historical and archaeological documentary films for the BBC and Channel 4. We also create videos for Christian churches and ministries from all over the world.
From 2010 to 2013, we produced the filming of ‘Jerusalem 3D IMAX’, an epic historical documentary about the city.
Later, from 2017 to 2019, we produced three annual projects for ZDF (Germany). Each one included a Christmas concert in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, presented by Markus Lanz, and an accompanying documentary film.
Since the start of the Covid pandemic, we have also offered full remote production. We have the gear and the experience to give you full control over the shoot in Israel, without leaving your home.
In 2025, we began producing a historical documentary about Jerusalem, scheduled for release in 2027. Along the way, we have come to know many scholars and experts on the history of religions in the region. Moreover, our fixers in Israel and Palestine know every religious and Biblical location, and our camera crews have filmed there many times. As a result, we know the best film locations, how to get access and how to obtain film permits. We also know the best time of day and season for each site. Finally, we can always suggest additional locations.
