Prizes totaling $70,000 were awarded to promising new talents from around the world , as part of the closing session of the 13th Edition of the Sam Spiegel International Film Lab, at the Venice Production Bridge. 10 projects were pitched in front of an international jury including chief of staff of the Berlin International Film Festival- Florian Weghorn, The FFF Bayern co-head of funding- Judith Erber and Austrian producer Arash T. Riahi, who awarded prizes in the amount of $70,000. The Sam Spiegel International Film Lab $50,000 Grand Prize, donated by the Beracha Foundation was awarded to “Don’t be a Stranger” by Fillipe Fernandes. Producer - Dora Amorim. The jury statement read: “Intimacy pervades this project at every take: with its strong characters caught between longing and loss; in the profound depiction of life and love; and even in the portrayal of the everyday working life of someone who is, in the true sense of the word, a deeply caring person. All these elements come together in a film project of the utmost urgency for the director and the team, for the societies in which diversity is increasingly at threat - and hopefully, also with this award, very soon for a worldwide audience”. The Sam Spiegel International Film Lab Emerging Filmmaker Award in the amount of $20,000 was granted to “Thei night will be White” by Nir Guilat, Producer- Eviatar Moncaz. The jury statement read: “We decided to award the second prize to a film that not only has a great premise but also promises a celebration of child-like innocence within a society full of pain and trauma. A film that makes us laugh and cry at the same time, a film that embraces the beauty of going after our dreams no matter how banal they might seem for other people. A film that surprises us again and again. A film that brings light to the darkness of the night”. A special mention from the jury was given to a third project- “Milah”, by Amos Holtzman. Producer Talia Bernstein. The jury statement read: “The quality of all projects was so high that we would have loved to award all of you. However after careful discussions we decided to make an exception and announce a special mention to a story that represents the best of Israeli filmmaking. A film that dares to talk about taboos in the society with complexity and still allow us to laugh about those traumas, even if it’s a trauma about a piece of a penis. Through its human approach Milah has a huge potential to generate and fire up discussions about who owns our bodies: tradition or our own will”. For the first time in its 13-year history, the Sam Spiegel International Film Lab held its final pitching event as part of the Venice Production Bridge during the 82nd Venice International Film Festival. Dana Blankstein Cohen, executive director of the Sam Spiegel School: "In these horrific times, our moral compass compels us to voice the urgent need to end the war immediately. Holding the Lab’s pitching event in Venice underscores the importance of film havens worldwide - safe, creative spaces where filmmakers gather, exchange, and launch films that envision a more compassionate and secure world for all. We carry a creative responsibility to empower Palestinian and Israeli students and filmmakers, to protect freedom of speech, and to preserve the collaborative work of film between creators from diverse backgrounds". Mor Eldar, Director of the Sam Spiegel Labs adds: “10 Projects from all over the world and from various religions- Christians, Muslims and Jews, shared 8 months of thorough development process together, which culminated in one of the world’s most important film festivals. While working on their first or second films they demonstrated again the power of film to connect people, behind the scenes and in front of the camera”.

The Mouth The Mouth Screenwriters: Yoav Roeh Producer/s Yoav Roeh , Gum Films Language: English, Spanish, Yiddish Format: 8 Episodes x 50 Minutes Genre Crime Drama Send PITCHDECK LOGLINE The story of two Jewish women, forced into sex work in early 20th century Buenos Aires by the Jewish criminal organization “Zwi Migdal”, inspired by the true story of the woman who brought it down. SYNOPSIS Leah, 28, and Mimi, 19, were both trafficked by "Zwi Migdal" into prostitution in Buenos Aires, far from their homeland and families. Each woman forges her own path to survival: Leah teams up with the only decent cop in the city, working undercover in the brothel to bring down the ruthless organization, while Mimi claws her way up in the male-dominated world of trafficking. Leah and Mimi’s relationship evolves and transforms, as one woman's mission risks everything the other has worked for. WRITER'S STATEMENT A hundred years have passed since Raquel Lieberman brought down “Zwi Migdal”, the feminist revolution has changed the world, yet sex trafficking continues. By turning the lens to the past, we ask to look at the present. As feminist creators in 2024 we are committed to the stories of the victims of “Zwi Migdal”. The use of a compelling true story, with the stylistic tone of a mob/crime series, will create the necessary distance for viewers to meet this painful topic. But most importantly, with all its darkness, “The Mouth” will remind us individuals can, in fact, change history. ABOUT THE WRITERS Aurit Zamir is an award-winning writer and producer. She wrote and created the series THE TRUTH with Dafna Levine (Euphoria) which sold to Canal+, AMC and more. She wrote and directed the short film BABYSITTER, which won Best Short Film at the Haifa Film Festival and Best Director at Oscar qualifying RIFF.

Shiri’s passion for pre WW2 Jewish culture is apparent in THE LAST KLEZMERS feature film in development. She lectures on film at Minshar for Art and is a script adviser at the Israel Film Fund. PRODUCER'S STATEMENT The Mouth is a character based, propulsive crime drama with the potential to move and excite audiences internationally, while raising questions about the world we live in. It’s a series that pushes the boundaries of the genre in which it operates, an ambitious co production, universal in story as well as theme, which can have a meaningful impact worldwide. As a producer, as well as a viewer, this is the television I’m passionate about. PRODUCER PROFILE Gum Films is a Tel Aviv based production house owned by Yoav Roeh & Aurit Zamir.

That Hole That Hole Screenwriters: Maya Fisher, Shani Sror Producer/s Maya Fisher, Shani Sror , Green Productions Language: Hebrew Format: Genre Send PITCHDECK LOGLINE A devout, conservative bridal counsellor transforms a "prayer hotline" aimed at strengthening women's faith, into a channel for sexual awakening for an entire community of women. SYNOPSIS In the strict Hasidic community of Gur, Rudy, a bridal counselor, instructs brides about the laws and rituals of ritual purity and the mitzvah of procreation, all while grappling with her own and her husband's infertility. In an effort to accumulate mitzvahs that might aid her in conceiving, she takes on the new "Yeshuos Hotline" – a helpline designed to strengthen women's faith. However, after an anonymous phone call to the hotline, Rudy finds herself listening and advising women in the community on issues of sexuality and relationships. All of this happens under the radar of her stern and revered mother-in-law, Rebbetzin Hinda. As Rudy explores her own sexuality and body, her relationships with the Rebbetzin, her husband, the women in her community, and her faith become strained. Eventually, she even manages to become pregnant, albeit in defiance of Halakha laws. What will happen when her secret is uncovered, especially now that she is a changed woman? WRITER'S STATEMENT "When I was 18, after talking to my bridal counselor about the wedding night, I found myself looking for a street bench. I was so dizzy I thought I was going to faint. And I couldn't help but think - how could God have chosen such a forbidden place for the creation of new life?" This is what Batya “Bessy” shared with us when we first met. Through our exploration and collaboration, Rudy has emerged - the embodiment of our shared experiences and memories, through her we delve deep into the intricate concept of womanhood: female sexuality, femininity, hidden desires, female solidarity, and self-discovery. Our protagonist will have to choose between what is expected of her - societal norms, community responsibility, and her status - against the awakening of her inner desires. Our series explores sexuality, particularly from the perspective of those for whom it is traditionally denied or suppressed. The series is set within the unique community of the Gur Hasidic sect, where a distinct and rigid separation exists between men and women. Relationships within this community are minimized to the bare minimum, and sexual relations are referred to as ""The Mitzvah,"" while the vagina is euphemistically called ""That Place” or “That Hole”. We also aim to shed light on the practice of ""bridal instruction"" and its unwavering rules that demand the erasure of the female body and the suppression of female pleasure. Countless women adhere to these rules daily, leading to a detachment from their own bodies and natural desires, all in the name of Halakha laws that are said to protect them. We want to swing open the gates of the Haredi world and venture in via personal experience. As creators who are still connected to this world, our gaze is multi-dimensional and nuanced, presenting the beauty alongside the ugliness through both loving and critical eyes. The series will intimately capture the intricate details known solely to those who have lived through them, such as the bloodstained underwear in the husband's pocket on the way to the rabbi for purity rulings; the KY jelly that every woman must apply before intimate relations; the headaches caused by the pins that secure the wig; the pain during the performance of “The Mitzvah”; and the revelation of a first orgasm without prior knowledge of its existence. ABOUT THE WRITERS PRODUCER'S STATEMENT Our relationship with Orit began when we worked on her debut film, Cinema Sabaya, which was Israel's official Oscars Entry. We immediately knew we had encountered an incredibly talented director and writer who creates unique worlds and tells compelling stories that deeply touch the hearts of others. Orit collaborates for the writing with Adi, the director of a theater group called "Out For Change", a non-profit that supports young people leaving the religious Haredi world. Bessy and Miri, who participate in this group, have chosen to forge their paths outside the Haredi world. Adi has embarked on a collective writing journey alongside Bessy and Miri, which led to the early development of 'That Hole.' The series is set within the unique community of the Gur Hasidic sect, where a distinct and rigid separation exists between men and women. This radicalized framework allows us to explore the contrasting dynamics between absolute adherence and skepticism and examine their impact on personal growth and development. Within this world, we have the opportunity to challenge fundamental concepts such as "nature", "body", and "pleasure", and explore when boundaries serve as a means to foster healthy personal development and growth, and when they become oppressive and obstructive. While many TV series have explored the themes of repressed passion and the pursuit of self-fulfillment in the face of societal expectations within conservative contexts, the writers strength lies in her ability to challenge these conventions through daring, creative, and engaging drama. Their work not only tackles complex issues but also appeals to a wide-ranging audience. The narrative embraces both pain and compassion while always maintaining a sense of optimism and a genuine love for humanity.

Not Your Fault Not Your Fault Screenwriters: Or Sinai, Einat Weinboim Producer: Adi Bar Yossef , BARYO Language: Hebrew Format: Send PITCHDECK LOGLINE Dori, a volunteer at a help center for victims of sexual assault, has her world turned upside down when she receives an anonymous report about a rape that took place years ago. She suspects that Yonatan, her wonderful partner, and the father of her unborn child, might be the rapist in question. SYNOPSIS It seems that Dori (33) has it all. She just found out that she’s pregnant with her sweet and sensitive partner, Yonatan’s child. They have shared a life together for seven years, and they are about to purchase an apartment, in preparation for their expanding family. She has her own business – a successful vintage shop in Tel Aviv. But she spends most of her time and energy as a veteran volunteer at a help center for victims of sexual assault; this is the place where she feels the most satisfaction and meaning. One evening, while on a shift at the emergency hotline at the help center, Dori receives an anonymous call. The caller has just remembered repressed memories. She says she was drugged and raped at a music festival in the desert over a decade ago. The caller doesn’t remember what her attacker looked like, but she does remember the unique tattoo on his shoulder. She also remembers the smell of his aftershave, and the song that he played while he attacked her - the song that he went out of his way to tell her how much he loved. Dori trembles, she already knows all of this – the description of the rapist sounds horribly similar to her partner Yonatan (40). This is the same Yonatan that she is in love with, the music teacher, the former farm boy, the one who cares about the environment and animals, the man that she tied her life to, the man whose child she carries in her womb. Her Yonatan. What is she supposed to do now? To throw away all of those good years and future plans, just because of one suspicious phone call? Frightened Dori embarks on a journey, right underneath Yonatan’s nose, as she searches for clues in the case. Yonatan currently works as a music teacher at an elementary school, but he used to be a guitarist in a successful rock band from the 2000s called Primary Needs. It was precisely at the height of their success that the band unexpectedly broke up, and Yonatan decided to stay out of the spotlight. Under false pretenses, Dori meets with those who were close to Yonatan at that time, as she tries to gather information that will tip the scales, while simultaneously failing to lead a normal relationship with Yonatan. On his part, Yonatan doesn’t understand Dori’s distance and strange behavior. However, he is convinced by those around him that Dori is simply acting out due to the stress of the pregnancy and purchasing their first apartment, and “she’ll get over it”. And eventually Dori does feel immensely relieved when she discovers that the anonymous caller is Zohar (31), an emotionally unstable woman who is hospitalized in a psychiatric ward, and is known to “harass” the help center’s hotline. Suddenly Zohar’s story sounds dubious and made-up, and Dori decides to let go of her suspicions and move on with her life. But soon after, the case comes back to haunt her. When Zohar is released from the psychiatric ward, she decides to file a complaint about the rape incident, and Dori is asked by the help center to accompany Zohar to the police. Dori shows up with the intention of neutralizing the threat that Zohar poses to her life, and tries to dissuade her from filing the complaint, but she is surprised to find out that Zohar is a wise and determined woman, far from the crazy girl she imagined her to be. Zohar reveals additional details that clearly point towards Yonatan, and Dori can’t continue to deny it any longer. Zohar’s story wounds her heart, and she bravely stands alongside her. Dori and Zohar get closer and closer, developing a special bond, an almost symbiotic relationship that transcends all boundaries. During their joint investigation, they discover that Zohar’s rape is only a drop in the ocean; There was not one single rape that happened at that festival, but rather a broad manipulative, wide range of sexual assaults. They are pursuing a sophisticated, serial rapist, that none of the victims are able to identify. Could it be Yonatan? The quest for truth causes Dori’s life to turn upside down. She suffers from an inflammatory skin disease that makes her miserable and restricts her work, she moves further and further away from Yonatan, she lies to her colleagues at the help center, and she is forced to confront the unresolved abuse story from her childhood. As the investigation continues, it turns out that Yonatan is in fact not the rapist; it was Chaim (55), the lead singer of Primary Needs. Dori realizes that although Yonatan did not play an active role, he was a silent witness, and even cooperated with Chaim’s horrific actions, and kept this dark secret for years. The “gray” area in which Yonatan functioned does not make things easier for Dori. Now she is faced with an even more complex question: Is it possible to forgive someone who witnessed acts of abused but did not commit them himself? Yonatan, ashamed of his past, is determined to do everything he can to atone for his sins and receive his punishment. Meanwhile, the women at the help center, the community to which Dori has belonged to for years, criticize and boycott her over her relationship with a man who assisted in a chain of sexual assaults. Dori grapples with the question – should she stand by the man she loves, who wishes and strives for atonement? Or should she stand with the victims for whom she volunteers and fought for all her life, who are in some way also part of her identity? All the while, a small baby grows inside her, and the idea of giving birth to Yonatan’s son is becoming more and more oppressive. “Not Your Fault” is a moving, ironic, and challenging drama series that examines the broad and elusive spectrum of consent, and offers an original perspective on the harm that is caused by sexual assault even years after it has occurred, not only for the victim – but for the perpetrator and their surroundings as well. What happens when the sexually abused individual, the one that seems far away, somewhere in the news, enters your home? And what if the rapist is not an evil man who traps women in a dark alley, but rather is someone like us, who shares their life with us? And what about the identity of the woman who dedicates her life to the victims, when the victim endangers her relationship and her future? During the eight episodes of this series, Dori is faced with all of these questions, all the while fearing that she herself will turn in a silent witness to the crime before her.

English Animals English Animals Claire Oakley Producers Serena Armitage, Pietro Greppi Lab Edition 9 , 2021 SCENE PITCH Production Country UK SYNOPSIS English Animals is a portrait of Mirka, a young Polish woman living in the UK in the hope of finding a home there, and of the upper-class English couple who are her employers. When Mirka moves in with Sophie and Richard (late 30s) at Fairmont Hall, she is immediately welcomed into their world and begins to feel more valued and less lonely than she has in a long time. They are nurturing and kind and Mirka excels at her job. She feels as though she has found the home she has been looking for. However, when she discovers that her burgeoning attraction to Sophie is reciprocated, she is unable to stop herself from falling into a passionate affair with her married employer that threatens everything she has built here. As the relationship progresses, Mirka is able to overcome her guilt and allow her desire for Sophie to deepen. When she then discovers that Sophie has betrayed her, Mirka is devastated and she has to consider whether she really belongs at Fairmont Hall, whether she can trust Sophie and Richard, and what the idea of home really means to her. DIRECTOR'S NOTE English Animals is about the exploitation of feelings. It looks at the outsider experience and explores themes of belonging, acceptance, respect and entitlement. It is also about a certain type of Britishness which, seen through Mirka’s eyes, is examined in a humorous and satirical way. The tone of the story will encapsulate this and luxuriate in the contradictions, hypocrisies and complications of this world. There are elements of psycho-sexual intrigue in the film and of awkward confrontations between classes. I want to explore these simmering tensions fully, capturing Mirka’s uncertainty, the watching, the waiting and the wanting. The performances will be naturalistic and unsentimental, the drama will be involving and the characters funny and deeply felt. The design will be detailed, rich and surprising. It will nod to the awkward humour in the story, leaning into Mirka’s expectations and using her point of view to discover the oddness of this world and of the couple’s traditions. The location will have something of the gothic about it, shadowy corridors and dead animals behind glass, but at other times it will feel cosy, warm and welcoming. I am interested in these shifting atmospheres and how they can deepen the audience’s experience of the story and closeness to Mirka and her journey. The camera style will be precise and still. I am interested in using composed shots through doorways, windows or foregrounded objects to create a sense of secrecy and a feeling that we are observing the drama as though it might be taking place in a doll’s house. These shots will be complimented by closer insert shots which will celebrate the objects in the house, focusing on the themes of history and tradition, as well as the details of the taxidermy.
