IMPACT Lab

Documentaries have the power to highlight social and environmental concerns, reveal injustice, and inspire action. Unlike shorter forms such as news and social media, long-form documentaries take the time to build empathy, directly involve the audience and immerse them fully in the situation of others, inspiring them to engage and act.

With the knowledge that Israel is a hub for talented and world-renowned documentary filmmakers, but impact filmmaking is not established, CoPro Foundation together with The New Israel Fund, Gesher Film Fund and Kayama Academic Center, and the U.S. embassy developed and produced the first ever Documentary Impact Lab in Israel.
