The Good Fence Hillel Rate Producer Lev Orlov Lab Edition: 12 , 2024 SCENE PITCH Production Lev Orlov Films Country Israel SYNOPSIS Avner yearns to include his daughter’s name on the community’s monument, despite her suicide and burial outside of the cemetery’s fence. When his son, a left-wing activist, faces accusations of unlawful activities, Avner releases him on bail and allows him to serve house arrest at home. The Orthodox community reacts strongly to the son’s presence, forcing Avner to choose between his daughter and his son. DIRECTOR'S NOTE "The Good Fence" combines socio-political drama with a personal family story, highlighting society’s, and even a family’s, blindness to the "other." This is my story and my father’s, and, in my opinion, it’s the story of everyone who has chosen a path different from their parents. As a non-practicing Jew raised in a religious home, I experience firsthand the tension between my own worldview and the one I was raised with. I lost my father about a year and a half ago. Our relationship was complicated because I opposed many of his values. His passing was unexpected, and we didn’t have a chance to say goodbye or part amicably. This script is my attempt to give voice to the loss I experienced and that many who leave their religious affiliation still feel. It’s an opportunity to address the tension between traditional and modern views and a call to the hard work of Sh’lom Bayit, making peace with one’s home. ABOUT THE FILMMAKER Hillel Rate, an independent Israeli filmmaker graduated with honors from the Maaleh School of Cinema and Television and completed his master's degree (MFA) cum laude in documentary cinema from Tel Aviv University. In addition, He works with festivals around the world as a jury and selection committee member. His short films have been screened at festivals around the world including among others, the Jerusalem IFF, Doc Aviv IFF, Hot Docs Canadian FF and Astra FF. Hillel's films deal with firsthand stories and focus on marginalized figures in Israeli society. He believes that through personal stories and intimate experiences, it is possible to create narratives that have a broad social impact. His point of view and visual tone are subtle, full of compassion and respect for his characters. ABOUT THE CO-WRITER PRODUCER Lev Orlov Lev Orlov is an independent film producer based in Tel Aviv and head of Lev Orlov Films.

When they reunite, Sara discovers that Joanna has created a new family, but she is nonetheless determined to fight for her mother’s love by any means. As it turns out, Joanna has a dark secret of her own, and one day she disappears again. As a result of this emotional rollercoaster, Sara starts to question her sense of belonging to her mother and tries to find her own place in the Belgian family. DIRECTOR'S NOTE Telling stories about varied experiences of motherhood is important to me. Growing up in Belgium and Poland, I understand the cultural, religious, and political differences this subject may reveal. A mother leaving her child can be one of the decisions she makes.
