Terra Nullius Add a Title Add a Title Send Send Einat Zilber-Damari Producers: , Hillel Rate Terra Nullius Lab Edition 4 2025 PITCH LOGLINE After losing custody of her son, Ivriya infiltrates a religious settlement to expose the men who framed her mother for deadly arson, forcing her to break the cycle of violence-or she loses him forever. SYNOPSIS On a remote mountain in Samaria, where a state-recognized settlement backed by state power, and a radical anarchist outpost, determined to dismantle that very system, are locked in uneasy proximity, Terra Nullius (Latin for “Nobody‘s Land”) unfolds as a slow-burn thriller about land, faith, and buried crimes. After her mother’s sudden death, Ivriya, daughter of a Peruvian convert from the forgotten “Inca Jews” (a unique community of indigenous Christian Peruvians from the Amazon who converted to Judaism and immigrated to Israel, yet remain eternal outsiders within the closed settler society), arrives to reclaim her mother’s land and is pulled into the mountain’s hidden war: religion vs. ideology and tradition vs. truth. Like her, Amir (30), an Arab-Israeli construction manager from Haifa, unwanted by both settlers and Palestinians, finds himself stranded between worlds. Their unlikely friendship reveals a shared terrain between erased identities, both yearning for roots, voice, and history. As Ivriya’s quest to uncover her mother’s injustice slips toward revenge, the series echoes prophet Ezekiel’s warning; “The fathers ate sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge”. Terra Nullius is a story of generational wounds, fragile identities, and the price demanded by sacred land. WRITER'S STATEMENT Terra Nullius unfolds in a raw, biblical landscape, inside a charged religious-political reality. But this is not only a political series. At its core, it is an intimate story about inheritance. About what we receive from our parents, from our land, from our faith, and what it costs to refuse it. I grew up within the religious-national world the series portrays. The language of redemption, sacrifice, and destiny shaped my childhood. I know its beauty. I also know its silence. That tension, between belonging and doubt - is the emotional engine of this series. Like the works of Mare of Easttown, True Detective, The Returned, and Unbelievable, atmosphere and inner landscapes are as central as plot. Here too, an investigation slowly becomes a crime. A buried secret mirrors the heroine’s deeper search for repair, not only of her mother’s past, but of herself. The visual language draws from filmmakers such as Tarkovsky and Malick, who treat landscape not as backdrop but as memory. On this mountain, nature is not passive; it absorbs history. The wind carries accusation. The silence holds guilt. The terrain remembers what the characters try to forget. This series emerges from a place I know from within, not as accusation, not as propaganda, but as confrontation. In Israel today, the struggle over land is inseparable from the struggle over truth, and both are passed from generation to generation like an heirloom no one dares to question. Through Ivriya, I wanted to ask a simple, painful question: If you inherit violence, are you destined to repeat it, or can you end it without burning everything down? PRODUCER'S STATEMENT Sometimes the truth lies buried so deep that reaching it demands courage, patience, and a willingness to confront what others prefer to keep hidden. I place my trust and belief in the creator of this series and in what he has to say, as someone who speaks from a deeply personal point of view—someone who knows the land, the people, and the community from the inside, not as an outsider looking in. That intimate familiarity gives the story an authenticity that cannot be fabricated or imitated. This is not just a personal story, but a courageous act of reckoning. It challenges silence, exposes long-standing power structures, and asks difficult questions about faith, loyalty, and justice. It dares to look directly at inherited trauma and the price paid by those who are born into narratives they did not choose, yet are forced to carry. This is a story that must be heard—because it gives voice to those who were denied one, because it refuses to simplify complex realities, and because it insists on empathy even in the face of violence and loss. Above all, it is a story that offers inspiration: to women who fight to reclaim their agency, to men and women who struggle against cycles of fear and oppression, and to anyone who believes that truth, once revealed, has the power to heal, transform, and create change.

- Marc Grey and Nitai Gat
I'm Afraid That's Our Time I'm Afraid That's Our Time Screenwriters: Marc Grey, Nitai Gat Producer: Amir Ganor & Adi Bar Yossef , Endemol Shine Israel Language: Hebrew Format: 10 Episodes x 45 Minutes Send PITCHDECK LOGLINE Terrified by the implications of their psychologist’s suicide on their own well-being, four orphaned patients set out to prove that their therapist was in fact murdered. SYNOPSIS Yotam is obsessed with thoughts of suicide, but years of therapy have convinced him that he’s not in real danger – until his therapist goes and kills himself. Terrified he’ll suffer the same fate, Yotam teams up with three other orphaned patients to prove their shrink was actually murdered. As their bumbling investigation begins to bear fruit, the danger escalates, leaving the group exposed and vulnerable – with only each other to lean on. WRITER'S STATEMENT My therapist cancels a session for health reasons, and so begets a crisis: what happens when he dies? No Hallmark card for that. I imagine furtively seeking out other clients at the funeral. Who but they would understand my loss? These are the dramatic seeds for “I’m Afraid That’s Our Time,” planted with my writing partner Nitai in the well-tilled soil of murder-mystery, watered with comedic irony and existential dread, growing now, we hope, into a story about love, death, friendship - and becoming the humans we want to be. ABOUT THE WRITERS Marc Grey grew up in a home with a 3,000 title VHS collection because his father didn’t want to pay for cable. Now a screenwriter and director, Marc wrote episodes of the International Emmy winning series TEHRAN (Apple TV+ / Kan). His 2019 short-form series DRECKULA (Kan) was nominated for an Israeli TV Academy Award. He lives with wife in Tel Aviv. They don’t have cable. Nitai Gat is a Tel Aviv-based screenwriter and the creator of DRECKULA, a short-form comedy series that premiered on Kan 11 and was nominated for an Israeli TV Academy Award. He is currently developing various scripted series in collaboration with companies such as Endemol Shine Israel, Hadas Mozes’ ADD, and Paper Entertainment. A trivia buff, Nitai also writes for many of Israel’s top game shows. PRODUCER'S STATEMENT What we love about "I'm Afraid That's Our Time" is its ability to tackle the painful subject of suicide in an engaging and immersive way, without losing the depth of the dramatic questions that our protagonist, Yotam, and the audience face. The series' universal themes make it relatable to viewers worldwide, and we believe it will resonate across different cultures and audiences. PRODUCER PROFILE Endemol Shine Israel is part of the international BANIJAY Group, producing over 350 series annually across diverse genres, and collaborating with approximately 400 broadcasters, digital platforms, and channels worldwide. ES Israel specializes in creating original content that resonates in both local and international markets.

- The Handball Coach
The Handball Coach The Handball Coach Sivan Noam Shimon Producer Benny Fredman Lab Edition: 12 , 2024 SCENE PITCH Production Red Films LTD Country Israel SYNOPSIS The moment when Yael "the Bulldozer" Cherni (32) scored the winning goal in the European Handball Championship defined the peak of her career. But it also crushed her knee and left her with excruciating pain and the nickname. The doctors say her career is over, her partner Nofar (30) pleads her to move on, but Yael feels belittled. The only one who believes in her is Sari (17), a troubled goalkeeper in the youth team Yael coaches. Around her, Yael feels strong, worthy, and admired once again. The relationship between the two takes an unexpected dimension. DIRECTOR'S NOTE I was an athlete and the feeling of "I'm a badass" became a key part of my being. Thus, I set out to write a story of a woman who doesn't know who she is without her strength and will do anything to stay on the court. I chose handball, not such a popular sport, and the peripheral town Or-Yehuda, to express the perception that women’s sports are marginal. Hence, many female athletes don't get the appreciation or financial support like their male counterparts. For people who come from marginalized populations, sports can be life changing, if not as a career, then in a "I'm a badass" state of mind. ABOUT THE FILMMAKER Sivan Noam Shimon is a writer, director and actress, graduate from Steve Tisch School of Film and Television at Tel-Aviv University.

- The Good Fence
The Good Fence 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.
