Vision

As a ‘living’ archive, our new website, www.jfc.org.il, offers an engaging experience for users to become acquainted with materials hailing from the dawn of cinema to the digital era. By supplying English subtitles to all the materials online, we look forward to providing full access to a worldwide population deeply interested and invested in the history of Israel and the Jewish people.
