The aim of the project is to encourage the production of high quality original Israeli films. It provides assistance to films by Israeli artists in the fields of production, completion and development, according to criteria of quality, cinematic experience and personal expression, combining all of these with considerations of commercial success. In this way, the project contributes to creating an Israeli cinematic oeuvre that has depth and relevance, is unique and meaningful and will bring about a genuine pluralistic debate on the problems of Israeli identity and heritage, as well as current topics. Within the framework of its activity, the Cinema Project supports the production of: Full length Israeli Feature films, Dramas, Documentary films, Experimental films and Student graduation films.

One of the Project’s goals is to promote and nurture a variety of initiatives in Israeli cinema. Help is provided for artists from the level of graduation projects in film schools, through the new generation of filmmakers, to those who are better established, encouraging them all to realize their original ideas in both feature films and documentaries. Since the Project was established, it has become an influential force in Israeli cinema in general, and has helped the production of some of the best films created in Israel during that period.
To date, the Foundation has supported the production of some 600 films
