The 16th Jerusalem Pitch Point

The Jerusalem Film Festival is hosting an array of professional events that unite the Israeli and international film industries. The highlight of these events is the 16th Jerusalem Pitch Point Competition, taking place on Thursday, July 13th.

The Pitch Point, which is supported by the Jerusalem Development Authority, serves as a platform to propel Israeli films in various stages of development and production. It grants Israeli filmmakers and producers the opportunity to showcase their projects and connect with influential decision-makers from the global film industry, fostering international co-productions and collaborations.

This year's edition marks the first time the event will be held at Hansen House, an historical site dating back to 1887. As part of Pitch Point, several awards and grants will be bestowed upon the most promising feature films.
