The 29th annual Israel Film Festival in Los Angeles is one of many sponsors at this year’s American Film Market. The two organizations are not partners and have not joined forces, affiliations or alliances. The Festival is simply a paid sponsor of the AFM in order to promote Israeli films to buyers and attendees of the Market, including screenings at local Los Angeles theatres and operating a Market booth, which is sponsored in part by the Jerusalem Film Fund to promote film production in Jerusalem. The Festival apologizes for any direct or implied inference of a further association between the AFM and the IFF, which was not intended.
The Israel Film Festival is presented by the IsraFest Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization created in 1982.
