The international film festival “SPIRIT” takes place on November 20 to November 24 2024, in Tel Aviv’s Cinematheque for the 18th time.
The festival showcases the best of transformation movies that uplift, inspire, and educate. Including inspirational stories and themes related to wellness, self-discovery, consciousness, spiritual paths & practice, body-mind science, organic and plant-based nutrition, and sustainable living.
The festival includes both documentary, and narrative features, as well as short films plus filmmaker Q&A's, panels, and pairing films with inspiring talks.

Spirit Film Festival is dedicated to spreading ideas that contribute to the evolution of consciousness and inspire transformation through films. Our purpose is to showcase cinematic gems that empower the audience to live kinder, wiser, and more enlightened lives.

The festival will entertain international filmmakers, workshops, lectures, and talks inspired by the films and a colorful new age fair will complete the cinematic happening. The festival is considered to be the leading event in its field in Israel.

By submitting to SFF, you acknowledge your willingness to have your film considered for screening within either a virtual, live, or hybrid film festival scenario.

Note: SPIRIT CINEMA also has a year-round Virtual Screening Platform that brings films and talks to a global audience. If our programmers believe that your film would lend itself to a focused event screening outside of the festival, we will reach out to you directly to assess your interest.
