Philistia Pictures began its journey in 2014 under the name “Philistia Film” in Ramallah, as a pioneering dream aimed at leaving a distinctive mark in the cinematic and television production industry. Starting as a specialized artistic production office registered with the Palestinian Ministry of Finance, the company demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the highest standards of quality and professionalism. Driven by this vision, Philistia expanded its network of partners and clients locally and internationally, and within just a few years, it transformed into a certified Palestinian production company recognized by the Ministries of Economy
and Finance.
Philistia’s achievements go beyond exceptional production quality; they extend to documenting historical events and significant social and humanitarian topics. Among its most notable works is the series “Under the Mandate,” which revived obscure details from the British Mandate era; the series “Spider Silk,” which exposed the dimensions of settlement expansion in the West Bank; and the film “Pens Under the Mandate,” which chronicled the role of Palestinian journalism during the Mandate period.
Philistia also tackled unique themes, such as technical education in the film “Al-Aroub,” environmental dimensions in “An Untold Tale,” and social and economic issues in films like “Hidden Fingers.”
Through its commitment to innovation, quality, and timely delivery, Philistia Film has become a role model in the Palestinian artistic production industry, contributing to the promotion of Palestinian cultural identity locally and internationally.
Philistia Film has distinguished itself through its innovative and comprehensive approach to artistic production, relying on a team of highly skilled professionals specializing in writing, planning, production management, and advanced technologies. This expertise has enabled the company to deliver a diverse range of productions, including documentaries, dramas, television programs, commercial advertisements, and media campaign management.
This excellence has been reflected in the success of numerous works that have garnered prestigious local and international awards, such as the documentary “An Untold Tale,” which won the Bronze Award at the Amman International Film Festival.
Philistia Pictures has expanded its scope of work to include news production, becoming a trusted partner for several international news networks, such as China’s CGTN. The company has provided exceptional production and technical services to independent producers working for Al Jazeera, contributing to the creation of news reports and documentary programs that highlight contemporary issues and significant events in Palestine and the Arab region.
This collaboration reflects Philistia Film’s professionalism and its ability to meet the demands of media production with high quality, while maintaining credibility and precision that align with international media standards.
