Films produced in Israel and the British Mandate for Palestine before 1960:
Overviewโป
Priorโโto the establishment of the stateโป
Film Industry in Palestine during the British Mandate of Palestine and afterwards during the "first years of the state," didn't actually exist. Movies were filmed in Palestine since the time of the beginning of the silent film era during the 19th century. But an actual movie industry was not really conceived, both in the period of the Yishuv, and also during the first years of the state. The films which were produced were rare. And usually didn't match the quality of the films which were imported from abroad. Initially the industry, "focused particularly on producing propaganda films." And news broadcasts which were shown in the Israeli cinemas during that time before the movies were shown.
The 1950sโป
During the 1950s, "some development was made." Israeli cinema studios were established such as Geva Films" (ืกืจืื ืืืข) and the "Israel Film Studios" (ืืืืคื ื ืืืกืจืื ืืืฉืจืื) in Herzliya, and several films which contained plot were created. In 1954, the lawโโto encourage the production of Israeli film (ืืืืง ืืขืืืื ืืกืจื ืืืฉืจืืื) was passed, and in 1955, the most important Israeli film which was filmed until then was produced - Hill 24 Doesn't Answer (ืืืขื 24 ืืื ื ืขืื ื). In the late 1950s, the Israeli film industry was still in its early stages and "hadn't managed to create for itself unique characteristics," its own language. Or even a real industry. The films were mostly patriotic in nature. The films were not simply "action"/"crime" films, they could belong to these genres. But tended to include a very Israeli perspective and touch due to very recent events in the nation's tenuous formation.
