How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Israel is an ideal place for shooting films; it has versatile locations great weather, and a strong film industry.
As a film production company, we can offer our production services and facilities to any project that attends to be shot or produced in Israel. We can be a true partner for co-productions and different visual art projects that connect between the different countries of the ALF.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We believe that in order to make films that inspire and reach the audience, you have to go international.
Israel has great talents; Script writers and directors, but the film market here is small. Strong corporations with European and other Middle Eastern countries will lead to better distribution of the films and will make them an international success.
We hope that through the AFL we can find partners that have the same purpose, even partners that haven't worked with Israel before in the film industry.
Not only that – Since Israel is a country that brings together people from all over the world: Morocco, Russia, Ethiopia, Poland, Egypt and many more, the stories that are being told here are diverse and a lot of them deal with multi-culture issues and the connection between the life of people here and their roots in other countries.
As a production company, these are the stories that we choose to tell, and those stories sit along with the ALF purposes and goals.
We see it as a great opportunity to open the door for a connection with partners from all over the world.
