New York Israel Film FestivalThere is no country other than the United States which has as elaborate and extensive a screening support structure for Jewish and Israeli films. Several years ago I noted in an article about the New York film festival that there are more than fifty Jewish film festivals in the United States. According to jewishfilm.com there are now close to seventy Jewish film festivals in this country as well as at least four festivals devoted to Israeli films and two to Sephardic ones. In addition, there are numerous Jewish and Israeli support organizations encompassing funding, information centers, and film archives covering Jewish films. Jewishfilm.com provides a listing of more than 60 domestic and foreign film festivals which show Jewish films on a regular basis. It also offers rudimentary advice to those planning to stage a Jewish film festival. It is no wonder that this growing film festival market impairs theatrical distribution of Jewish and Israeli films; the captive audience for these films can see them in any town with a notable Jewish population. This has created a situation where film festivals have to serve as exhibitors and arrange fee based screenings at commercial venues where distributors rent the films to the festivals. Any demanding feature shown at a festival has little chance of theatrical distribution; the target audience has been preempted by the festival. 07.06.2011 | Editor's blog Cat. : Aaron army Arte Asia Avi Nesher Claus Mueller Contact Details Correspondentfilmexchange@gmail.com counsel , pleading the secular Dan detective European Union Israel JÉRUSALEM Jewish culture Lebanon Levant Los Angeles Marek Rozenbaum Miami New York Person Email Address president representative Republics Social Issues Social Issues Technology Technology the Israel Film Festival the New York Film Festival United States Western Asia WITH BASHIR Zionism |
