Filming in Palestine

The importance of working with a fixer
in Palestine

Having us on the ground as your fixer in Palestine is a smart move. Because let’s be real here. As locals, we can address any potential challenges that you may face when filming in Palestine.

We know how to secure legally compliant filming permits and manage location access. We can also organize proper filming equipment, and provide quality accommodation and transport options. Our team also liaises with local authorities and communities to ensure a smooth filming process in Palestine.

Visa for Palestine

Organising a visa for filming in Palestine requires knowing the correct entry requirements, which are often tied to Israeli border controls. We’ll guide you through the process, making certain that everyone on your team has the correct documentation and permissions to enter the region. As we’re regularly in touch with local authorities we can also provide updates on border procedures, and so make changes as necessary to minimise delays and ensure that your production happens as scheduled.

Film Permits Palestine

Securing film permits in Palestine, particularly if you’re planning a multi-location shoot, will involve working with several stakeholders including local municipalities, community leaders, and the relevant authorities in that area. As your fixer in Palestine, we’ll handle all the paperwork and further negotiations to make sure that you have the necessary permission to film in public spaces, cultural landmarks, or sensitive areas. The fact that we’re locals means that we can also ensure local customs and community needs are respected while filming takes place.   

Special equipment

Getting the filming equipment you need is not always possible due to problems with several regions’ infrastructure as well as restrictions on imports. Luckily, as a well-established film fixer in Palestine, we’ve built strong relationships with trusted local suppliers and can source you the best of what’s available when it comes to cameras, lighting kits and audio equipment. If you absolutely need specialized equipment, we’ll assist with importing whatever it is you need to bring in, and handling customs clearance and logistics.

Cultural facts

Palestine people are warm and friendly and, surprisingly, diverse. Our culture thus includes many Arab, Christian, and Islamic traditions. However, respect towards religious sites is expected, regardless of ethnicity or religion.

As your local film fixer, we’ll guide you in this respect. Also, securing film permits in Palestine is crucial, not just to ensure legal compliance but also to help you build positive relations with any of the communities you’re filming in.

Weather when filming in Palestine

Palestine is a Mediterranean country so expect hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. If you’re planning a long outdoor shoot, then summer is really the ideal time. However, if you’re filming in Palestine in winter, then make sure to bring ample rain protection clothing. We’ll advise you on the best times to film when planning the filming schedule with you. We always keep abreast of weather reports too, so if any major storms or other changes are flagged, we’ll let you know.

Tax rebate in Palestine

At the moment, there are no formal tax rebates for film productions here. However, we’re in regular contact with local film industry leaders and will alert our clients of any future changes in this area. In the meantime,  as your fixer in Palestine, we will help you keep costs down.

The strong relationships we’ve built with suppliers over the years allow us to get you good deals on video equipment, transport, and accommodation. This will help you stretch your budget when filming in Palestine.
