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.
