​Since 2002, the Film and Television School of Sapir College has been coordinating the Cinema South Festival, which is held at the Sderot Cinemateque. The festival became within a few years a well respected international film festival that gives a central stage to Israeli cinema and world cinema. The festival exposes the audience in the south to the modern cinema with all of its colors and diversity and at the same time spreads and exposes the Israeli local cinema scene to the world; Since it was established, the Israeli cinematic programs of the festival appeared in France, Switzerland, the U.S., and London. In recent years the festival has won a great deal of meaningful exposure in the international press and appeared in leading newspapers such as the British Independent and France’s Le Monde.
