Through our Israel Film Center Fund, ICP supports feature-length films in the post-production stage. The Israel Film Center Fund continues to be the leading resource for Israeli films in the US and serves as both a presenter and a funder. At a time of an international boycott of Israeli cinema as well as continued internal struggles to raise diverse Israeli voices, the Israel Film Center Fund and ICP serve as a means to finance completion as well as support the distribution and impact of Israeli films in the US.
