Israel Production Services
With the latest attacks in Lebanon and the killing of Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, the future of the year-long war of attrition in northern Israel is unclear. Many news crews and journalists are already in Israel, and more plan to arrive here in the next days. We continue to provide all production services, including personal protective gear, to visiting crews.
On October 7, 2024, Israel will mark the first anniversary of the current war. It is the longest war in the history of Israel, and no one can tell when it will end.
A cease fire agreement in Gaza is not expected, as both Israel and Hamas would not compromise on their principles. Hamas still holds 101 Israelis kidnapped on Oct. 7, 2023, many of them are already dead.
We continue to provide production services to journalists, production companies and broadcasters from all over the world. We have Israeli teams and Palestinian teams who have been doing that from the beginning of the war.
On Saturday morning, Hamas launched a massive terror attack on Israel.
Israel is now at a state of war. We are providing news production services to several news outlets cowering the events, and will continue to do so in Israel, the West bank and Gaza.
If you need assistance with producing news reports in Israel, it’s best to contact us by email.
Here is our news blog. Here we will tell about our recent works and will update with anything relevant to film and video production in Israel.
For more information about what we do please check out the Highlight Films main website and our Facebook or LinkedIn pages.
We are often asked “Is it safe to come and film in Israel?”
The answer is yes, definitely. There have been several terrorist attacks in the last weeks in and around Jerusalem, but none of them targeted visitors or tourists. Security in Jerusalem is higher than ever. Our production crews in Jerusalem feel completely safe when filming in the Old City of Jerusalem. As for the southern border with Gaza and the northern border with Lebanon and Syria – both are quiet.
There is an ongoing dramatic political turmoil in Israel, as hundreds of thousands of protestors demonstrate against the government attempts to change the nature of the Israeli democracy. These demonstrations are completely peaceful, they are known in advance and secured by massive police presence.
So, we believe it is as safe as ever to come and film in Israel, including Jerusalem. If you want to hear more, please feel free to drop us a line…
We wish our customers, colleagues and suppliers a great 2023! We are looking forward to begin the new year with the best film, TV and video professionals in and around Israel!
When the Covid pandemic broke, almost three years ago, we have decided to go for full remote production services in Israel. With things back to normal, we continue to provide remote services for corporate, documentary and other video productions, along with catering for the needs of producers and film crews arriving to Israel.
Our remote production services allow our customers to view our cameras feed and hear the original audio in real time, virtually without delay, from any location in Israel. In Palestine this service is available only in the big cities.
So, if you plan a video shoot in Israel – please feel free to contact us in advance and check what is the best way to do it: by a visiting crew or remotely.
After several weeks of steady increase in the Omicron wave numbers of positive, sick and fatalities, it seems that Israel is finally beginning the down curve.
Almost all Covid limitations have been removed. As far as entering thee country, the pre-Covid procedures are back in effect. Only fully vaccinated passengers will be allowed to enter the country, probably for the next few months.
As far as our production routine – we are in full operational mode. Since January 15, 2022 we have resumed all documentary films, corporate video and commercial shoots in both Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
