Care Care Marcell Gero, Sára László Producers Sára László, Melanie Blocksdorf Lab Edition 14 , 2026 SCENE PITCH Production Campfilm, Schiwago Film Country Hungary, Germany SYNOPSIS Zsóka, a Hungarian mother living in Berlin, returns to Lake Balaton for the summer. After befriending a local woman and her two sons, she becomes convinced the boys are being emotionally and physically abused. Torn between doubt, fear and responsibility, she struggles with whether to intervene. One disturbing night finally compels her to report her suspicions to child protective services, setting off a chain of events she can no longer control. DIRECTOR'S NOTE While making my documentary "Cain’s Children", I became deeply attached to three young children living in extreme neglect who ended up playing a key role in my film. As my own sons grew up in safety, I struggled with the contrast between our lives and theirs. We stayed in touch long after filming ended, and I even seriously considered adopting them. We spoke regularly on the phone, texted several times a day, and I visited them weekly, at first, then monthly, then slowly less frequently. The experience of this naïve urge to help, and the painful realization of my own limitations inspired the story of my first feature film, "Care".

Every Step You Take 14TH EDITION CATALOGUE 14TH EDITION PROJECTS MENTORS JURY LAB FILMS TEAM PARTNERS Every Step You Take Filmmaker: Noa Gusakov Producer: Leah Tonic Production Company: Leah Tonic Country: Israel Language: Hebrew Genre: Coming of Age Lab Edition: 14 , 2026 SCENE PITCH SHORT SYNOPSIS Elinor and Sharona are best friends bound by an intense, codependent bond. When Elinor's mother forces a US relocation to help evade the military draft, the girls refuse to part and decide to do whatever it takes to stay in Israel. Escaping to a desert rave to sabotage the move, Sharona gets in trouble, spiraling their night into high stakes. Meanwhile, their contrasting mothers unite to track them down, forcing Elinor to realize that breaking this bond is her path to freedom. DIRECTOR'S NOTE Standing at the equator between the teenager I was and the mother I am today, I set out to write this intimate coming-of-age dramedy. As a teen, my friends were my anchor, and my mother was the enemy; I constantly searched for a female role model to guide me. Through this film, I capture the raw, physical tension of youth - between an overbearing mother and an intensely codependent best friend - asking whether a tight, suffocating embrace isolates us or keeps us safe.

- Horse Parade
Horse Parade 14TH EDITION CATALOGUE 14TH EDITION PROJECTS MENTORS JURY LAB FILMS TEAM PARTNERS Horse Parade Filmmakers: Luciana Vieira, Gabriela Matarazzo Producer: Claudia Chakmati Production Company: Rhiza, Deberton Filmes Country: Brazil Language: Portuguese Genre: Coming of Age, Sports Drama Lab Edition: 14 , 2026 SCENE PITCH SHORT SYNOPSIS Filipa (17) is a promising jockey on Brazil's clandestine horse-racing circuit — everything she knows about horses, she learned from her father, Joel. But her talent isn't enough to outrun his gambling addiction. When Joel sells her horse to cover a debt, Filipa must decide whether to keep racing at all and place one last bet to win back her own independence. DIRECTOR'S NOTE My fascination with horses led me to spend years researching amateur horse racing, and my desire to portray women entering spaces where they are rarely seen shaped ״Horse Parade״. Through Filipa's journey, I want to portray not only her ambition to become a successful jockey, but the emotional cost of confronting invisible rules. Blending sports drama with a coming-of-age story, I seek to create a vibrant, colorful, and emotionally charged debut feature. Guided by the actors' physicality and a mise-en-scène that privileges gesture over dialogue, the film reveals the complexity of contemporary northeastern Brazil through an intimate perspective, exploring themes such as gender inequality and gambling addiction.

- Don’t Forget Flora
Don’t Forget Flora 14TH EDITION CATALOGUE 14TH EDITION PROJECTS MENTORS JURY LAB FILMS TEAM PARTNERS Don’t Forget Flora Filmmaker: Yotam Knispel Producer: Harel Ben Melech Production Company: Tiara Films Country: Israel Language: Hebrew Genre: Drama, Comedy Lab Edition: 14 , 2026 SCENE PITCH SHORT SYNOPSIS A wildlife photographer prefers birds to humans, and lives with her beloved husband in an isolated desert camper. When his fading memory erases her, it also exposes his secret: he has a daughter she never knew about. A warm yet troubled comedian. Tracking her ignites an unlikely bond that redefines both women's sense of belonging and obsession. But as she forces herself into a family that isn't hers, she struggles to tell whether she's finally living free - or merely observing life from behind a different lens. DIRECTOR'S NOTE My grandfather had dementia. He disappeared for 3 days. When he was found, it took my grandmother 4 hours to pick him up. I still wonder why. How did she feel before retrieving the man she loved? I'm obsessed with the tension between LOVE vs. SELF. Flora is an honest vessel of my fears: being forgotten and being defined by someone else. Caged by the need to be needed. But through Tami, Flora's lens shifts: from a distant observer who prefers birds, to a participant among humans.

Their mother Thea tells Lenn in detail their father sexually assaulted her. Determined to protect Lenn, Fiona sets out to prove her mother is lying, but Lenn believes Thea, and their bond begins to fracture. When their parents reconcile and the toxic family dynamic closes in again, Fiona lets go of being Lenn’s protector. Only then can the siblings come back together, their bond stronger than ever. DIRECTOR'S NOTE "Thicker Than Water" is an autobiographical story and, at its heart, an ode to siblinghood.

- Leaving Gur
Leaving Gur 14TH EDITION CATALOGUE 14TH EDITION PROJECTS MENTORS JURY LAB FILMS TEAM PARTNERS Leaving Gur Filmmaker: Brachi Haisherik Producers: Tammy Cohen, Adar Shafran Production Company: Tamar Productions, Firma Films Country: Israel Language: Hebrew Genre: Romantic Drama Lab Edition: 14 , 2026 SCENE PITCH SHORT SYNOPSIS A young Hasidic couple escapes the strict Gur community and sets out on a desert trek - beyond the reach of the supervision, the rules, and the communal control over their bedroom. Along the way, between walking by day and sleeping in a tent by night, their touchless marriage starts to unravel, revealing layers of shame, repression, and sexual trauma. In the raw space between past and present, between body and faith, a fragile intimacy is born - and with it, a chance for redemption. DIRECTOR'S NOTE I was married, through an arranged marriage within the Gur Hasidic community, at the age of twenty, full of hope. In the years that followed, my body and spirit were worn down by a traumatic initiation into marriage and sexuality, shaped by coercion, prohibitions, and scarring guidance. ״Leaving Gur״ grows from these wounds. Through a young couple's journey into the desert, I explore bodies shaped by control and the possibility of intimacy after trauma. I write this film as a fantasy of love and freedom, born within the world I belong to. ABOUT THE FILMMAKER Brachi Haisherik is a screenwriter and director from Israel's Gur Hasidic community.
