Cinema of Israel ((ヘブライ語:קולנוע ישראלי) ''Kolnoa Yisraeli'') refers to movie production in Israel since its founding in 1948. Most Israeli films are produced in Hebrew. Israel has been nominated for more Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film than any other country in the Middle East. ==History == Movies were made in Mandatory Palestine from the beginning of the silent film era although the development of the local film industry accelerated after the establishment of the state. Early films were mainly documentary or news roundups, shown in Israeli cinemas before the movie started.〔(Editing out a frame of history, Haaretz )〕 One of the pioneers of cinema in Israel was Baruch Agadati. Agadati purchased cinematographer Yaakov Ben Dov's film archives in 1934 when Ben Dov retired from filmmaking and together with his brother Yitzhak established the AGA Newsreel.〔 He directed the early Zionist film entitled ''This is the Land'' (1935). In 1948, Yosef Navon, a soundman, and Yitzhak Agadati, producer of the first Hebrew-language film with his brother, Baruch Agadati, found an investor, businessman Mordechai Navon, who invested his own money in film and lab equipment. Agadati used his connections among Haganah comrades to acquire land for a studio. In 1949 the Geva film labs were established on the site of an abandoned woodshed in Givatayim.〔 In 1954, the Knesset passed the Law for the Encouragement of Israeli Films (החוק לעידוד הסרט הישראלי). Leading filmmakers in the 1960s were Menahem Golan, Ephraim Kishon, and Uri Zohar. The first Bourekas film was ''Sallah Shabati'', produced by Ephraim Kishon in 1964. In 1965 Uri Zohar produced the film ''Hole in the Moon'', influenced by French New Wave films. In the first decade of the 21st century, several Israeli films won awards in film festivals around the world. Prominent films of this period include ''Late Marriage'' (Dover Koshashvili), ''Broken Wings'', ''Walk on Water'' and ''Yossi & Jagger'' (Eytan Fox), ''Nina's Tragedies'', ''Campfire'' and ''Beaufort'' (Joseph Cedar), ''Or (My Treasure)'' (Keren Yedaya), ''Turn Left at the End of the World'' (Avi Nesher), ''The Band's Visit'' (Eran Kolirin) ''Waltz With Bashir'' (Ari Folman), and ''Ajami''. In 2011, Strangers No More won the Oscar for best Short Documentary.〔(Film about Tel Aviv school wins Academy Award )〕 In 2013 two documentaries were nominated the Oscar for the Best Feature Documentary: The Gatekeepers (Dror Moreh) and Five Broken Cameras, a Palestinian-Israeli-French co-production (Emad Burnat, Guy Davidi). Author Julie Gray notes "Israeli film is certainly not new in Israel, but it is fast gaining attention in the U.S., which is a double-edged sword. American distributors feel that the small American audience interested in Israeli film, are squarely focused on the turbulent and troubled conflict that besets us daily." 2014 was the best year for Israeli films at the Israeli box-office. Israeli-made films sold 1.6 million tickets in Israel in 2014, the best in Israel's film history.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A glowing 2014 for the Israeli film industry )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cinema of Israel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
