General Information
Established in 1993, the New Fund for Cinema and Television (NFCT) is an Israeli non-governmental organization positioned at the intersection of cinema and social change.  Through our financial and professional support to filmmakers, we cultivate artistic excellence and contribute to the creation of outstanding films on a broad array of issues. The NFCT is made up of 7 staff members and 3 interns. Our annual budget is $2.5 million, and we receive financial support from the Israeli Ministry of Culture, the European Union, and a range of Israeli, European and North American foundations and donors. We provide funding and professional guidance to filmmakers; organize training programs, workshops and conferences for filmmakers and students; and implement the international Greenhouse program for filmmakers from the Middle East and North Africa.  
Mission and Objectives

Since its founding, the NFCT has supported the production of hundreds of documentaries, fiction films, and television dramas.  We have initiated innovative international programs such as Greenhouse, while nurturing the artistic and professional development of talented filmmakers from diverse communities.

We believe in the enormous power of cinema to engage, educate and inspire social change. NFCT films help promote the values of tolerance and social justice while enriching the cultural landscape. Through our outreach and education programs, we expose our films to wide audiences in Israel and throughout the world.
