We have offered documentary film production in Israel & Palestine since 1998. So why do clients consider us the best production services company in Israel?
Let us explain. We could point to more than 25 years of documentary filmmaking in Israel, or to our long list of international productions. However, the simple answer is the people who work with us. We are a small team of professional filmmakers. Together, we decided to provide production services at the highest professional level, with the best customer service.
Our documentary film production team in Israel
Our team includes both Israelis and Palestinians. We know that the place we live in will always attract filmmakers. Some focus on one topic, such as Jerusalem, archaeology, or the history of Christianity, Islam or Judaism. Others follow a story about the complex politics of the Middle East, or the night life of Tel Aviv. In every case, we offer a wide range of services for an affordable production at the highest professional standards.
For many documentaries, we provide a full package of services. This includes initial research, interview booking, coordination, filming in all HD and 4K formats, and post production. Often, only the director or producer travels to Israel, while we supply the professional crew and production staff. In other cases, we work alongside a visiting crew and provide any services they need.
Documentary film production in Israel & Palestine: our fixers
We assign a local production manager (fixer) to each production. While the fixer is on location with the crew, he or she stays in constant touch with our Tel Aviv office. Meanwhile, the office provides news alerts, logistical help and online research when needed.
Highlight Films employs both Israelis and Palestinians. All of them are experts in their field, and they speak many languages. Our coordinators have worked on dozens of films about history, archaeology, sports and religion. In addition, they have worked on documentary series and current-affairs films on both sides of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.
Documentary film footage
Our stock footage archive is unique in many ways. Most importantly, we shot much of it specifically for documentaries. In fact, some of it appears in our own films about key events and places in the recent history of Israel and Palestine. So, if your documentary, commercial or corporate video is shooting elsewhere and you need only a few minutes from Israel, we can find the best footage for you. You can also see what we offer in aerial filming with drones in Israel.
Freelance documentary filmmakers
Over the years, we have built long-standing relationships with some of the best freelance filmmakers in Israel and Palestine. In recent years, several production companies wanted to film documentary sequences or full films in Israel. However, for various reasons, they could not send their key personnel. In these cases, we found the most suitable Israeli filmmakers for each production. We are proud to say that every match was a success, and our clients were very satisfied.
So, if you have any questions about documentary film production in Israel & Palestine, please contact Noam Shalev at our Tel Aviv headquarters. We will get back to you with the best answers we can.
