The Jerusalem Cinematheque's Israel Film Archive

About

The Israel Film Archive, which operates as part of the Jerusalem Cinematheque, is a public archive entrusted with the task of preserving the country's audiovisual heritage through the ages. As it stands, it is Israel's single largest archive, housing upwards of 12,000 original copies of local documentary and narrative film footage, and over 32,000 reels of film screener copies from Israel and abroad. In total, the archive's various collections add up to over 4,000 hours’ worth of original Israel and Jewish works from the late 19th century through to the present day, including some copies that are the only ones in existence.
