Collection
The UT Libraries Israeli Cinema & Film Collection comprises of Audio-Visual content in various genres (features, documentaries, shorts, TV series) and on various media (VHS, DVD, streaming), as well as textual materials, either in print or digital, such as books, periodicals, film festival catalogs & programs, film screening programs, film school publications, original scripts, exhibition catalogs, promotional/commercial publications, theses and dissertations, instructional materials, film industry documentation, governmental reports, and ephemera. We collect everything that is or about Israeli cinema and film, including pre-1948 items, in all languages and in all formats. We do not collect posters or archival materials such as correspondence and photographs. The collection is discoverable through the UT Libraries catalog and could be brought together virtually by a note in each item’s bibliographic record, namely “Israeli Cinema & Film Collection.” Items are housed across several locations on and off campus, and are cataloged and classified according to the Library of Congress subject headings and classification schemes. Rare and unique items do not circulate but are available for consultation on location.
