MEDITARRANEO - new documentary film in production

Highlight Films announces the beginning of a new documentary film: MEDITARRANEO, a film by Eytan Nadel, follows three fishermen from Mediterranean countries: Morocco, Italy and Israel. Like thousands of other fishermen, they deal with a rapidly changing Mediterranean, reacting to Man’s interference with nature. These changes affect the people living near it, eating its fauna and assuming it will last forever…
The project will be presented later this year in order to form an international co-production.

Variety of HD cameras for rent in Israel

Highlight Films is the only production company in Israel and Palestine that has its own Sony and Panasonic high definition cameras sets. In addition to renting our HD cameras to visiting international TV and video productions, we provide professional camera crews and all the required production services for documentary films, TV and web reports, corporate productions and other video projects taking place in the Middle East area.

We are different from Israel’s equipment rental houses by the fact that we work in the entire Middle East, including the Palestinian West Bank, Gaza, Jordan and other countries in the area; Our cameras are frequently serviced in the best technical facilities and used by a small number of cameramen and operators; we provide all the additional technical services in-house - our technical department and post production teams take on many of the filming projects for dubbing, format conversion etc’.

For any additional information and for production quotes, please contact info@highlight.co.il or call us.
