AFTER DARK AFTER DARK Erenik Beqiri Producers Olivier Berlemont (Origine Films), Pierre Mourey (On Film Production) Lab Edition 10 , 2022 SCENE PITCH Production Country France / Albania SYNOPSIS After Dark is both singular and universal. Singular because of its territorial anchoring and the city of Tirana being a whole character, Albania being rarely shown in mainstream movies. But mostly because of its artistic proposal and the way it uses and twists the fantastic element, in an intimate and naturalistic way. It is also universal because of its topic of a love story, although it involves here a vampire woman. DIRECTOR'S NOTE In After Dark, there won’t be any fangs, crucifixes... The vampires are not immortal, they are a cursed extension of our society that cannot find where they fit in. I want to describe them as flawed sensitive beings, with desires and needs just like us, evolving in a chaotic city which is also struggling to find its identity. The story also asks : can we really feel the same towards each other when we are so different ? LOG LINE Anna wants to make her relationship with Tom official by meeting his father. The problem is : Anna is a vampire. In the midst of Tirana’s chaos, she fights her own nature to keep her love alive.

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.

Urban Legends Urban Legends Screenwriters: Naomi Levari and Saar Yogev Producer/s Naomi Levari and Saar Yogev , Black Sheep Film Productions Language: Hebrew Format: Genre Send PITCHDECK LOGLINE URBAN LEGENDS is a genre anthology that gives center stage to Israel’s geographical fringe. Each episode focuses on another part of the country and tells a standalone story which is also part of a more extensive mythology. Above all else, these stories will show that despite our differences – we all share common human fears. SYNOPSIS Every place in Israel has rules of its own, and each city – stories of its own. In URBAN LEGENDS, we want to give room for diversity and multicultural aspects through the prism of genre – thriller, science fiction, horror. It’s a series that introduces, for the first time, the dark, strange and fascinating side of those parts of Israel that aren’t usually seen on screen - while making use of each place’s unique features and conflicts. In the tradition of genre anthologies, from “The Twilight Zone” to “Black Mirror,” each episode will offer a new twist on reality and tell a story that deals with the real Israel of the here and now. The same twist will add a new dimension to the real-life experience while also subverting the drab realism often accompanying stories of living in the periphery. Stories that show that even in quintessential periphery cities like Rahat and Bnei Brak, you can make television that breaks the mundane everyday. For instance, in our series, a tech industry entrepreneur of Ethiopian descent who moves to live in upper-class Caesarea becomes invisible to his neighbors. A girl from the border-adjacent town of Sderot, who discovers an unexploded Qassam rocket in her backyard, will hide the rocket and make friends with it, and turn the ticking bomb into her best friend – one that would replace her friends who left town with their families. While the episodes will be standalone, they will interconnect in various ways that will reward viewing the entire season as a whole. For instance, a mysterious news report heard in one episode will be explained a few episodes later in a story about a neighboring town. This is how the series will gradually create a new shared mythology of the Israeli periphery. Each season will comprise ten episodes. Owing to the anthological structure, each episode will be directed by directors of different and diverse backgrounds, in a mix of both young promising talents and established filmmakers.; The series deals with the sidelines and seeks to put them in the center. The heroes and heroines of these stories will come from different backgrounds, giving us new exciting heroes that until now were usually portrayed as secondary characters at best – whether it’s due to their ethnicity, age, or place of living. All those characters will go through a jarring experience that will remind them how fragile their world is, how the carpet can be pulled from under their feet at any moment, and force them to reexamine their fundamental values. This kind of experience may seem all too familiar from the last two years, in which life had become a kind of horror film. We cannot prevent the fear around us, but with this series, we want to embrace it. To show that it also has power. Because in the end, the fear of the unknown, the fear of being alone, transcend cultural differences. They connect us through our shared humanity and remind us that despite our differences, which sometimes seem exceedingly insurmountable, we are all actually quite similar.
