The Fund for Video-Art and Experimental Cinema in Israel
with the support of the Israeli Film Council
FUND GOALS

The Fund for Video-Art and Experimental Cinema in Israel aspires to provide annual support to artists in the fields of video-art and experimental cinema in Israel to help them realize their ideas, to provide them with a platform, and promote their work in various frames in Israel and abroad.
The Fund will constitute a quantum leap for video artists and experimental filmmakers in Israel, allowing them to achieve higher, more professional production qualities than currently possible. The Fund will naturally help Israeli artists in their confrontation with their colleagues in the international arena, where such funds are abundant.
In addition to grants, the Fund assists artists by providing editing rooms and equipment at CCA's disposal.



Since 2002 the Fund has distributed grants for the following works:
