What did the State of Israel look like at its founding in 1948? What ads ran on TV in 1970? What did vacationing on the seaside look like in 1968? Since the Israel Film Archive launched its new website in September 2020, it has attracted well over 500,000 visits from people interested in finding out. Visitors have also been able to stream feature films, there, and many other audiovisual recordings.
