Wild Land

Wild Land is a breathtaking documentary by nature photographer Gil Arbel, who works with National Geographic and the BBC. This feature-length nature film unveils a side of Israel that many have never seen—raw, wild, and profoundly beautiful. The film takes viewers on a sweeping cinematic journey through Israel’s untamed landscapes—from the hills of the Galilee to the deserts of the south—highlighting the power and beauty of the local wilderness and the unique ecosystems of this region. Far from the headlines and everyday routine, the film dives deep into the country’s diverse terrains, documenting over several years, in challenging field conditions, the wildlife that inhabits them: wolves, jackals, ibexes, flamingos, and more—all captured in their natural habitats through rare, intimate, and mesmerizing cinematography.
