Exile Exile Oz Zirlin Producer Dor Levy Lab Edition 11 , 2023 SCENE PITCH Production Goosebumps Productions Country Israel SYNOPSIS In the harsh city of Hadera, three interlocking stories will change the lives of their characters forever: Jackie (45) is up against time as he finds his best friend- after he took the money they invested in crypto, has gone missing. Oleg (22) has to take care of his mentally ill mother just as, out of nowhere- his dominate father comes back from ten years abroad. Adane (28) wants to solve his anxiety issues so he can provide for his family. Instead- he gets his younger brother and himself entangled with the police. DIRECTOR'S NOTE This film is for my friends and family, the tired souls we lost along the way, and those who stayed with us, still struggling to make ends meet. This film is for my childhood heroes - flawed and anxious individuals, filled with doubts and a false sense of security, trying to do what's right by their families, but not always succeeding. This is Israel as they experience it, down here, in the streets . A place of never-ending turmoil and pressure. This film is for them.

Let go Baby Let go Baby Yair Agmon Producer Tal Becher (Yalla Films) Lab Edition 10 , 2022 SCENE PITCH Production Country Israel SYNOPSIS This is the story of Racheli and Noach, a young couple from Jerusalem, and the termination of their pregnancy. During a routine ultrasound, they discover a severe birth defect in their unborn child and find themselves forced into a tragic, unreal, and rattling odyssey - a stillbirth. Racheli and Noach’s journey together through the medical and mental bureaucracy of terminating the pregnancy drags their relationship into abysses of alienation and closeness, realism and surrealism. Their journey creates an intimate cinematic experience of substance. DIRECTOR'S NOTE The film “Let go baby” is based on the most traumatic experience I’ve ever had, and yet, my goal is to write and direct a film that is neither “heavy” nor sad, maybe even a happy film. I want to create a film with sweet, beautiful, and intimate moments. Moments of grace and love. I believe that many viewers will be able to find peace and comfort in this film. The comfort of the misery of life. I believe this film will encourage and enable a new discussion on one of the most repressed phenomena in our lives, one that no one talks about. I feel, simply, in every fiber of my being, that this is a story that must be told. LOG LINE During a routine ultrasound, a young Israeli couple discovers a severe birth defect in their unborn child that leads them down a surreal, tragic, and yet optimistic journey.

Don't Be A Stranger 13TH EDITION CATALOGUE 13TH EDITION PARTICIPANTS AND PROJECTS MENTORS JURY TEAM LAB FILMS Don't Be A Stranger Filmmaker Fellipe Fernandes Producers Dora Amorim, Julia Machado Production Company Zebra Films Country Brazil Lab Edition 13 , 2025 SCENE PITCH SHORT SYNOPSIS Frightened by a series of murders in the queer community of a coastal city, the ex-addicted nurse Luca, 29, worries when his ex-boyfriend goes missing and decides to search for him. Gradually, he develops a dangerous attraction to risk: despite all warnings, he continues using dating apps. The possibility that one of his matches might be a killer both terrifies and excites him. In contrast to the tenderness he offers his patients, the brutality of his sexual experiences begins to blur the line between fear and desire. DIRECTOR’S NOTE I feel that facing death's mysteries is unavoidable for people like me, LGBTQ Brazilians from underprivileged backgrounds. Fear and desire dance together in the construction of dissonant sexualities and we must learn to live by blurring the boundaries of the margins. I'm really interested in how Luca gradually pushes his physical and moral boundaries in this journey, until he learns that to really feel alive it's necessary to face the mirror honestly and never become a stranger to oneself.

This Night Will Be White This Night Will Be White Nir Guilat Producer Eviatar Moncaz Lab Edition 13 , 2025 SCENE PITCH Production Monchaz Films Country Israel 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. LOG LINE A struggling actor by day and paramedic by night, is swept into a relentless shift. Between emergencies, he must prepare for an audition that forces him to confront the roles he plays in life—on, and off stage.

Good Girls Go To Hell Good Girls Go To Hell Screenwriters: Shlomit Arviv Producer/s Shlomit Arviv , Dori Media Group Language: Hebrew Format: 10 Episodes x 30 Minutes Genre Comedy Drama Send PITCHDECK LOGLINE Tohar (17), the youngest daughter of the chief rabbi in a small West Bank settlement, decides to end her most significant relationship, and break up with God. SYNOPSIS In a West Bank settlement, Tohar (17), the chief rabbi's daughter, decides to break up with God after her mother's Parkinson's diagnosis. She embarks on a 10-step liberation journey, breaking the fourth wall to address the Almighty directly. Navigating her Orthodox community, all-girls school, family expectations, and first love, Tohar challenges everything she's known. In a place where every decision is judged by both Heaven and Earth, can Tohar find her true self without losing it all? WRITER'S STATEMENT "Good Girls Go to Hell" is inspired by Tohar's upbringing in a settlement. This adaptation of her graphic novel follows 17-year-old Tohar as she navigates the clash between tradition and independence. With raw honesty and sharp humor, we witness her struggle against family expectations and community norms while grappling with her evolving beliefs. It's a love letter to every misfit and doubter who's felt trapped by circumstances. Imagine "Fleabag" in a settlement or "Derry Girls" with a kippa - a story as contradictory, messy, and beautifully human as life itself. ABOUT THE WRITERS Bar Cohen A screenwriter, Cohen’s debut feature, CLOUDS OF DUST, is an Israel-France co-production currently in production. An honors graduate of The Sam Spiegel Film School, her projects have been featured in the Jerusalem Film & Television Fund Series Lab and NFCT Docu Lab and more. Tohar Sherman-Friedman An author, illustrator, tattoo artist, and comic book creator. Friedman's first graphic novel, ""Good Girls Go to Hell"", was published and translated into various languages. The sequel, ""Angel of Sabotage"", was released last March in France. She is a graduate of the visual communication studies and the illustration department at Shenkar College. PRODUCER'S STATEMENT From the moment I encountered "Good Girls Go to Hell" by emerging talents Bar and Tohar, I was captivated. The playful title belies a profound coming-of-age story set in a world seemingly distant from my own—a large religious family on the fringes of Israeli society. Yet, Tohar's original dialogue with her "imaginary friend" God resonated deeply. This series promises to be a groundbreaking exploration of faith, family, and identity, told with wit and warmth. Bar and Tohar's authentic voices shine through, creating a story that's both uniquely local and globally relatable. Their fresh perspective offers a bold take on universal themes. PRODUCER PROFILE Dori Media Group is an international media company with offices in Israel, Switzerland, Argentina, Spain, and India.
