Over the past twenty years, there has been a growing involvement of women in the Israeli film industry. Since the establishment of Israel and up until the year 2000, women directed a mere 7% of screened Israeli narrative features. However, as shown in the report, over the last two decades this gap has been growing smaller, and the ratio of films directed by women between 2013 and 2018 stands at 21%. With that said, the positive change in the growing numbers of female-directed narrative features is not reflected in some of the film-related professions, and the gender-inequality within the Israeli film industry is still quite large.

"The Celluloid Ceiling: A Gender-Based Analysis of the Israeli Film Industry" (the name is a tribute to Martha Lauzen's work), joins current researches about gender inequality in film industries around the world, allowing a comparison between gender related aspects of the Israeli film industry and equivalent industries worldwide. The report also includes information regarding women filmmakers from social minority groups.
