Island Island Elinor Nechemya Producer Ronen Ben-Tal Lab Edition 9 , 2021 SCENE PITCH Production Country Israel SYNOPSIS At her new apartment in a complex of generic residential towers, the film's protagonist Rona cannot avoid a sense of endless mediocrity. Moving to the suburbs symbolizes the loss of desire or any aspiration for change, and as her career has also hit a turning point, tension rises in her married life with Adam. Rona is an archeologist on Sabbatical. She's "stuck" in the building most of the time, writing research and avoiding contact with others. Then she meets Vered, her neighbor from across the hall, and the two women soon become close. Vered intrigues Rona, exposing her to another side of life in the building. Rona gets a glimpse of the bubbling underworld in the new place, but nothing prepares her for the moment when Vered's husband Stephan seduces her into passionate sex on the kitchen island while her kids are next door. Rona is reawakened to a new dawn of sexual desire, but only when it happens again, this time with another neighbor's husband, does Rona realize that this is no coincidence, but a pattern. Rona soon understands that it's now her turn to send her own husband to play the "game", and she and Adam hit a communication breakdown. At first Rona thinks she can manage the situation, but Adam decides to put up a Chinese Wall regarding his encounters. Rona tries to regain control by breaking the rules. But after everything that's happened, will it be possible to bring the trust and passion back into their own home and relationship? DIRECTOR'S NOTE Between the kitchen – the traditional arena of the battle between the sexes – and the living room, there is only an island. This is where I've decided to situate passion. A drama that holds a dark humoristic tone, ISLAND is a cinematic attempt to decode the existential time bomb that hides inside the bourgeois relationship's belly. Rona's long-hibernating libido is awakened at the most unaccepted of all places, causing her to doubt everything – as happens to many women after long years spent in relationships and caring for children. But perhaps the rocking of her foundations and the loss of control will allow her to succumb to the dark side of her passion for once, to accept herself as she is and to demand what she needs from the primary sexual and romantic relationship in her life. When reality and fantasy come together, Rona musters the courage in her relationship with Adam, allowing herself to let him in and to deepen the level of dialogue. This is when the film opens to Adam's point of view and becomes a story of two, exploring alternative communication through sex and fantasies. Using the dramatic scenery of dense buildings, I attempt to create a complex and moving cinematic expression. In my film the building becomes a live entity, with a weird undertone, an uncanny object with the power to swallow the characters. I aim for a wry humoristic tone, arising from the situations and the juxtaposing of scenes. The low green suburban landscapes in which I grew up are continuously being eradicated and replaced by the residential complexes that are Israel in 2021. Part child, part married woman and a mother, I reflect upon family life, as I insist on deciphering the code to a relationship that can contain complexity, contradictions, and risks.

The Accident The Accident Screenwriter: Matan Yair Producer: Maya Fischer, Gal Greenspan, Roi Kurland , Green Productions Language: Hebrew Format: Send PITCHDECK LOGLINE Incidental items found at the scene of a fatal car crash rewind the suspenseful story of a young family, living in the heart of a crime-filled neighborhood, trying to create a better future for itself. SYNOPSIS Scattered at the scene of a fatal accident are a scroll of paper from a cash register, an old parking ticket, a pencil sketch of a young man’s face, a box of popcorn from the theatre, a hearing aid and a knitted blanket. These items offer clues into the lives of the Algaba family; Asher, a tow truck driver who recovers vehicles involved in “Total Loss” accidents, his ex-wife Miri, a postal clerk whom he’s still in-love with, and Shaked, their gifted 10-year-old daughter. The family is trying to escape their life in a neighborhood run by organized crime in the hopes of creating a better future for themselves. But when Asher becomes a witness to a murder in the community he was born and raised in, a chain of events is set into motion, inevitably leading to the starting point of the series - the accident. What caused it? who was in the car? Did they survive? Answers await at the very last episode.
