Manas Manas Filmmakers: Marianna Brennand Fortes Producer Carolina Benevides Production Company: SCENE PITCH Country: Brazil Language: Portuguese Genre: Drama Lab Edition: 9 , 2021 LOG LINE Marcielle is 13 years old the eldest daughter of an impoverished family on Amazon island. She will do everything in her power to protect herself and her younger sister from the violence that surrounds them SYNOPSIS Aware that the future does not hold many options for her in a riverside community on Marajó Island, 13-year-old Marcielle decides to confront the violent machinery that governs her family and the women in her community. DIRECTOR'S NOTE Director’s Note What fascinates me in cinema is the potential to encounter the “other” and how it enables us to see, feel and live in someone else’s shoes. This is why I will have an absolute protagonist, Marcielle – we will be radically on her point of view, seeing only what she sees and hearing only what she hears. As a filmmaker, I want to increase public awareness for such a painful subject matter as sexual abuse of women, especially children and adolescents. In terms of plot, I chose a , a classic narrative with tremendous visual power. Although the abuse scenes are never shown on screen, my intention is to show in a poetic way how the violence impacts on the character perception. Marcielle experiences many conflicts and the film will be with her in her moment of conscious awareness. In the photography I want to show the contrast of the beauty and richness of the region's natural landscape with Marcielle's poor and sad reality. The lush forest with abundant water can be as arid as a desert. A very cinematic environment that hides the unspoken "rules" of its inhabitants. For that “Sisters” will be shot on location, in a riverside community in Amazon Region where this story takes place. Actors’ direction will benefit from that because I’ll be working with actors that will be able to dive into the universe of the film and non-actors that will be comfortable in their habitat. Female characters who interact with Marcielle, will help her to see that is not normal what she is been through and that is possible to put an end to the cycle of abuse. The film will be generous to its characters and their stories, in terms of the length of scenes that reflect the way in which time, and distance, in that part of the world, imprisons its inhabitants.

Family Honor Family Honor Filmmakers: Hisham Suliman, Sari Bisharat Producer Yoav Halevy Production Company: Open Doors Films SCENE PITCH Country: Israel Language: Arabic, Hebrew Genre: Psychological Thriller-Drama Lab Edition: 13 , 2025 LOG LINE When a young girl is murdered in her home village, an Arab detective in the Israeli police is assigned to the case - a suspected honor killing that compels him to confront his own values, his family, and the complex social fabric of the community he comes from. SYNOPSIS Sharif (40), an Arab police investigator in Nazareth, is drawn into a painful and personal murder case when the body of 18 - year -old Wajud Al-Ali is found. His deep ties to her village—his own hometown—complicate the investigation, especially as he faces tensions with his wife, daughter, father, and a social worker holding crucial information. As he digs deeper, Sharif confronts his community’s code of silence—and ultimately his beliefs and his life. "Family Honor" explores the cost of defying tradition and the dilemmas that arise when honor becomes a matter of life and death. DIRECTOR'S NOTE “Family Honor” is a painful reality we know intimately. Although the values of honor, pride, and family are deeply rooted in the society we grew up in, we realize how these concepts—meant to protect—can also destroy. The film, which explores the silence surrounding honor killings, will be shot in Nazareth and an Arab village, blending raw realism with lyrical visuals, city's harshness with the village’s deceptive calm, actors alongside local non- actors. Through the eyes of the protagonist, the film examines the emotional cost of breaking tradition, redefining honor as empathy and acceptance. ABOUT THE FILMMAKER ○ Hisham Suliman: Born 1978.

Leaving Gur Leaving Gur Filmmakers: Brachi Haisherik Producers Tammy Cohen, Adar Shafran Production Company: Tamar Productions, Firma Films SCENE PITCH Country: Israel Language: Hebrew Genre: Romantic Drama Lab Edition: 14 , 2026 LOG LINE Between a rural town and the Red Sea, a young Hasidic couple escapes the strict Gur community, seeking forbidden intimacy. A journey of redemption - through body, sin, and the desert. 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. Her debut feature, ״Leaving Gur״, received production support from the Israel Film Fund, and won the Jury Award at PitchPoint, Jerusalem Film Festival.

Windless Windless Filmmakers: Pavel Vesnakov Producer Veselka Kiryakova Production Company: SCENE PITCH Country: Bulgaria Language: Bulgarian Genre: Drama Lab Edition: 9 , 2021 LOG LINE After years away, Kaloyan returns to Bulgaria to sell his late father's flat. Initially a routine task, it gradually becomes a journey of self-discovery, confronting distant traumas while finding a new path. SYNOPSIS After years away, Kaloyan returns to Bulgaria to sell his late father's flat. Initially a routine task, it gradually becomes a journey of self-discovery, confronting distant traumas while finding a new path. DIRECTOR'S NOTE This movie explores the alienation between three family members who have forgotten how to love and share their feelings. Asen is part of a lost generation stuck somewhere in the transition between Communism and Democracy. Asen’s father Kaloyan, is a man of dignity and long forgotten values. Somewhere between the conflict between Asen and Kaloyan, Koko lies hidden. He’s a boy on the verge of manhood, desperately searching for a role model in his life. I am searching for an answer to the question are we, as society, capable of producing persons of honour anymore? I know that the movie is not going to give a definitive answer but it can lead us searching for it. The most important inspiration for this project was the life of my grandfather. He was a talented poet, but because he was against the communist regime, he wasn’t allowed to publish any books until the fall of the communism. He once told me: “They can always take you everything you have, but no one can take your dignity.” When I heard this sentence, I was so young that I didn’t pay much attention to it. Nowadays I think a lot about this subject and I based the foundation of my movie around it. The rhythm of the movie will be closer to an observation that will urge the audience to search for a self-knowledgeable experience. The lack of any wind even in the widest environments will serve as a metaphor for the lost path that our civilisation is heading on. The camera movement will help me shape this narrative as poetic as possible. In order to achieve this, I will use mainly long static shots. I am also planning to use old anamorphic lenses that will add another layer of timelessness to the movie.

Oxygen Oxygen Filmmakers: Netalie Braun Producer Adi Bar-Yossef Production Company: SCENE PITCH Country: Israel Language: Hebrew Genre: Drama Lab Edition: 9 , 2021 LOG LINE Anat eagerly awaits her son Ido’s release from the army and their planned trip abroad. When his release is canceled and he's being sent for the new war, she sets out on a journey to bring him home. SYNOPSIS Anat eagerly awaits her son Ido’s release from the army and their planned trip abroad. When his release is canceled and he's being sent for the new war, she sets out on a journey to bring him home. DIRECTOR'S NOTE I was asking myself, for many years, why Israeli parents, especially mothers, cooperate with the stark reality of conscription to the army – the potential sacrifice of your own children. The silence about it hovers across all socio-economic classes in Israel. All young men go to the Army. And it is still considered an honor to be a fighter, or a mother’s fighter. Even in our literature there are few critical references, and in our cinema, there are none at all. Into this vacuum enters my main character - a single mom, surrounded by men who are connected to the army in one way or another: Her father sufferers from PTSD from the Yom Kipur war; her son is an enthusiastic combat fighter; her Ex (her son’s dad) is also, at arms length, committed to the army; and her new lover lost one leg in one of the Lebanon wars. My character, Khani, needs to find her own real voice, in order to keep her son alive. An organic voice that is connected to the first and very initial step of being a mother – which is to give life, and nurture it. This is a political film, a call for revolution. I want to expose the collective repression of mothers in Israel, as maybe, if they begin to refuse sacrificing their children, war will not be the main solution to our conflicts.
