PRODUCTION SERVICES FOR DOCUMENTARY FILMS
IN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE
Highlight Films offers a wide range of production services for documentary films produced in Israel and all over the Middle East.
Since 1998 Highlight Films has provided professional production services for more than 200 documentary films produced in Israel, the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Jordan and Europe. We work with the leading production companies and broadcasters in Europe, Asia and the United States, producing for a large variety of local and international broadcasters.
Range of Services
The experience of more than a decade of filming documentary films in Israel proves that this area never ceases to attract documentary film-makers. Whether they are interested in the history of Christianity, Islam or Judaism, or want to follow a story related to the complicated political reality of the Middle East, we offer these productions a wide range of services to facilitate an 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 native High Definition, and post production. In many cases the director or producer are the only ones traveling to Israel, while we are responsible for the professional crew and production staff. In other cases, we are working together with a visiting crew and provide them with any services they require here.
We appoint a coordinator to each production. While the coordinator is with the crew in the filming locations, he or she are constantly in touch with the Tel Aviv office, providing 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. The coordinators that we hire were responsible for more than 40 films dealing with history, archeology and religion, as well as for several documentary series and dozens of films dealing with current affairs, in both sides of the Israeli – Palestinian conflict.
Our picture archiveis unique in many ways, but one of them is very significant: Most of it was filmed by experienced documentary cameramen, who were on location shooting a documentary film or getting footage completions for one.
Many of the tapes filmed for our own films, following the most significant events and locations in the recent historyof Israel and Palestine, are part of our footage library. If your documentary film is happening elsewhere, and you need only a few minutes from Israel, we assure you that 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. In the past few years several production companies who were interested in producing documentary sequences or complete films in Israel approached us, but for a variety of reasons they couldn't send their key personnel to the locations. In these cases we found the most suitable Israeli filmmakers to work with this productions. We are proud to state that the matchmaking was successful in all cases...
