ReFILM: Restoration Film Festival 2025

The tremendous technological changes that cinema has undergone in the last decade, primarily the transition from film to digital, make it possible for many films to return to the screens and make world heritage treasures available to the public. Considerable activity in this field is also taking place here in the Israel Film Archive at the Jerusalem Cinematheque, the cumulative products of which can be found on the archive's website www.jfc.org.il.

ReFILM, the program celebrating restored treasures of cinema, was formed to broaden the view of archival work - here and around the world.

ReFILM is a celebration of the seventh art. This is an opportunity to meet films from all over the world - masterpieces that can finally be screened in the best quality, new films that are created based on old archive films and also rare films that suddenly gain attention and reveal new-old filmmakers. We invite you to join us on a fun and surprising journey to discover or revisit these treasures.
