The Hollywood Reporter has published its 2025 list of leading film schools and the Sam Spiegel Film and Television School is the only Israeli film school on the list - and for the eighth time.

For the eighth time the Hollywood Reporter has selected the Sam Spiegel Film and Television School as one the 15 best international film schools. The annual list includes leading films schools from around the world who offer the best and most up-to-date study programs.

The Hollywood Reporter sited among their reasons for including the school in their listing: “the country’s premier film school continued with its program for Palestinians and Arabic-speaking students, now in its fourth year, ensuring Sam Spiegel remains one of the only institutions in the region where Jewish, Muslim and Christian students - both Israeli and Palestinian - study, live and create side by side.”
