This Night Will Be White 13TH EDITION CATALOGUE 13TH EDITION PARTICIPANTS AND PROJECTS MENTORS JURY TEAM LAB FILMS This Night Will Be White Filmmaker Nir Guilat Producer Eviatar Moncaz Production Company Monchaz Films Country Israel Lab Edition 13 , 2025 SCENE PITCH SHORT SYNOPSIS Aviv (35), a struggling actor and night-shift paramedic, gets a last-minute chance at a career-changing audition. But as a sleepless night unfolds through chaotic emergency calls, a surprise encounter with his famous brother, and an emotional clash with his ex, Aviv is forced to confront the roles he plays in life—on, and off stage. Racing against time and exhaustion, he must find the strength to show up for the one performance that truly matters. DIRECTOR’S NOTE “This Night Will Be White” is a deeply personal film, born from my own experience of juggling endless jobs, chasing dreams while losing grip on the present. It’s a chaotic, at times absurd journey into a long night shift, where ambition meets despair—time warps, emotions spiral, and life feels like a surreal loop. The film reflects my fear of missing what matters most while pursuing goals that may never come true. A kinetic, intimate path toward clarity and acceptance.
