3rd Generation 3rd Generation Screenwriters: Yoni Paran Producer/s Yoni Paran , Paran Studio Language: Hebrew Format: Genre Send PITCHDECK LOGLINE The story of Roni and Chaya, two young women who work at Yad Vashem (The World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Jerusalem), who between tours of the Hall of Remembrance and guiding at the Cattle Car Memorial to the Concentration Camp Deportees, involve themselves in what’s important to any woman her early twenties – sex, love, and self-searching. SYNOPSIS Seventy-five years after the end of World War II, two young women still carry upon their shoulders the traumatic journey of the Holocaust. They are in their twenties, bursting with young spirit and fire in their eyes. One (Roni), is completing her national service, working in the “audio guide cellar” at the Holocaust museum. She is the daughter of the Director of the Guiding Department at Yad Vashem and the granddaughter of a survivor who lost his entire family in the Holocaust. The second (Chaya) is a secretary at the film library at Yad Vashem. She is named after her grandmother’s sister, who was murdered in the Ghetto in the name of God and comes from a devout religious family which sanctifies the Holocaust and believes that everything is a “victory over the Nazis.” Between Janusz Korczak Square and the Hall of Names; between the Warsaw Ghetto Square and the Partisans’ Panorama. 3rd Generation is a deep dive into the world of two young women working at Yad Vashem, in search of love among the “corpses” and the piles of shoes. They are the “invisible” employees of the museum, (they don’t even get to wear name tags) and thus in the cafeteria, they will always sit with the cleaning and maintenance staff (their only friends…) Each afternoon, they meet at their regular bench, across from the statue of the starved skeleton. There, they nosh on snacks from the “pit,” (where they hide food) fantasize about the boys with whom they’re in love, and gawk at the tourists who bring with them a refreshing and hypnotizing scent of “abroad.” We will encounter the heroines at their Torah lectures for religious girls, at a Zumba class for Holocaust survivors, a lead role in a Yiddish musical, and romantic night tours at the Holocaust History Museum. 3rd Generation will present the colorfulness of LA LA Land and the sadness of Schindler’s List. It will provide a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes goings on at the State of Israel’s Holocaust Memorial, as never before seen on screen WRITER'S STATEMENT ABOUT THE WRITERS PRODUCER'S STATEMENT PRODUCER PROFILE PRODUCTION CONTACT DETAILS Back To Participants PARTICIPATION APPLICATION RULES & REGULATIONS PARTICIPANTS OBLIGATIONS PARTICIPATION REGULATION SERIES LAB PARTICIPANTS MENTORS PROFESSIONAL GUESTS JURY PARTICIPATION APPLICATION RULES & REGULATIONS FAQ SERIES LAB FILM LAB MENTORS JURY DECISION MAKERS SCOUTS AND PITCHING PROFESSIONAL GUESTS PARTICIPANTS & PROJECTS LAB FILMS PARTICIPATION APPLICATION PARTICIPANTS OBLIGATIONS RULES & REGULATIONS FILM FAQ FILM LAB HOME TEAM NEWS LABS HOME SERIES LAB WHO'S WHO MENTORS PROFESSIONAL GUESTS JURY ADVISORY BOARD PARTICIPANTS PARTICIPATION APPLICATION RULES & REGULATIONS FAQ

Shtukit Add a Title Add a Title Send Send Liat Revaya Producers: , Merav Hadas Haddad Shtukit Lab Edition 4 2025 PITCH LOGLINE Only two things stand between Bat-Or and her new life: God, and her father. One of them has to die and it won't be God. SYNOPSIS According to Jewish law, a "Shtukit" is a woman who doesn't know her father's identity and is suspected of being illegitimate, therefore forbidden to marry. Bat-Or is thirty, newly religious, and she keeps getting set up with men who aren't even close to her level. In the religious world, family background matters and hers is a disaster. Her mother's a former inmate with a weakness for weed and losers, living in a border town Bat-Or left behind. The man she thought was her father walked out when she was a kid. Even her aunt, a respectable nurse and the woman who actually raised her, doesn't help her case. Neither does her job teaching inmates. When she gets the chance to sell her grandmother's house and take all the money, suddenly, her stock goes up. In matchmaking, money talks louder than problematic family. For the first time, the matchmaker sets her up with Avihai, from a wealthy, respectable family, devout and kind. They meet, and it clicks instantly. In their world, to avoid living in sin, they need to marry within months. There's just one problem: Bat-Or doesn't know "Dad" wasn't her real father. And the secret is about to come out. WRITER'S STATEMENT I grew up in a border town in northern Israel, the youngest of seven in a complex family. I served five years as a detective before moving into documentary filmmaking. Today, I work as a documentary researcher and director at Keshet 12 and teach civics and motivation to lifers. The prison, the border town, the characters in Shtukit, these are places and people I know. Bat-Or, like me, wants a new life and a new family, but the past doesn't let go. Shtukit is an edgy dark comedy filled with human warmth. The humor and crime emerge naturally from who these characters are: ex-cons, hustlers, religious seekers living messy, complicated lives. The language is raw, the stakes are real. Visually, the series is realistic, unglamorous, unforgiving. War-worn exhaustion, prison grit, grandma's house with peeling paint. A border town, a prison, an old house, settings that create a stark contrast between what the characters dream of and the gritty reality they're trapped in. At its core, Shtukit is about the search for home: physical, emotional, stable. About what people are willing to do for a fresh start, even when the past refuses to stay buried. PRODUCER'S STATEMENT From the first moment we first read Shtukit, we immediately recognized a truly exceptional project—one unlike anything we had seen before. We all fell in love with the story, the writing, and with Meirav herself. For a long while now, we have been accompanying Meirav through the development and writing of her unique story. As we progress, we realize just how important this narrative is. It is a rare opportunity to bring a distinct female story to the forefront, balanced with a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor. At Tedy Productions, a company led by a team of strong proffesional women, we feel that creating with strong women carries a potent power that isn’t always heard. In Shtukit, we clearly identified the powerful female voice that Meirav brings—a voice we haven’t encountered in other projects. We believe in her unique perspective and are convinced that this is a powerful story that simply must reach the screen.

The pregnancy exposes long-buried trauma that interferes with her ability to do her job. Despite Dotan’s pleas, she schedules an abortion. During a mission, a panic attack stops her from apprehending one of her informants. When he takes hostages, Iris insists on tracking him down. But Dotan, fully aware of her condition, is determined to pull her out of the field—even at the cost of their relationship. Iris must choose between her identity as a fighter and the instincts of a mother awakening within her. DIRECTOR’S NOTE Iris grew up in the shadow of her father, a heroic soldier killed in action. That grief convinced her never to bring children into a world of loss. But an unexpected pregnancy forces her to choose between her identity as a fighter and the instinct urging her to protect her unborn child. Framed as a thriller, our story follows a female fighter in today’s Israel, searching for hope amid darkness. We both have daughters in the army. The panic that grips Iris is the sum of our daughters’ fears and our own, as their parents. How do you raise a child in a reality where everything can shatter in an instant?

Mirror of Nightingales Mirror of Nightingales Karla Lulić Producers Karla Lulić, Jelena Madaric Lab Edition 12 , 2024 SCENE PITCH Production Dobar Films, Croatia; Avanpost Media, Romania; Delirium Films, Serbia Country Croatia, Romania, Serbia SYNOPSIS In a remote village somewhere in the Balkans lives Dora, a professional mourner. At her job, she is the best in the village, when she cries, even the dead weep. One day, she comes late to a funeral and cries at the wrong grave. In her desperate search for new crying gigs, she meets Dunda, a man who desperately wants, but cannot die. Their love breaks the spell, so Dora is now able to truly live, while Dunda is able to finally die. DIRECTOR'S NOTE Light, texture and composition are in the style of British impressionism, inspired by French impressionism, with rural dreamy landscapes including people and bright sunlight. This choice contributes to the touch of magic realism in this film. Sun will burn the streets and forests, creating an image of a slightly outdated photograph, but full of life. Interiors are minimalist, dusty and dark, with dark brown earthly shades and sun barely coming through lace curtains. This play between light and darkness will create a dreamy atmosphere, almost like giving light to the subconscious, dark and taboo. The duality of black vs. white / death vs. life, and the decisions made by the characters, will be marked by the camera. Wide shots will dominate in the scenes of life, youth and outside. Scenes of death, blackness, adults, villages and interiors, will be marked with tighter shots, evoking the feeling of pressure of growing up and oppressing tradition. LOG LINE A story about Dora, a professional mourner. She is the best mourner in the village, and when she cries, even the dead weep.

Bad Blood Bad Blood Screenwriter: Or Levy Berger Producer: Osnat Saraga , Paramount Israel (Ananey Studios) Language: Hebrew Format: 8 Episodes x 35 Minutes Send PITCHDECK LOGLINE Ellie swore she’d never return to her hometown. But when her ex-bestie reopens the murder case that shattered their lives, she has to join the investigation. Because after all, Ellie is the killer. SYNOPSIS Ellie (38) doesn’t want to be here. She left her hometown as a rejected young woman with a big mouth and a dominant jawline. Now she’s back with the same big mouth and a jawline that cost her the last of her savings. And it’s all because Zohar (38) decided to stir up the past. As Zohar starts planning the special 20-year memorial of Dror Peretz’s death, she can’t shake the feeling she has had for years: something’s off. Sure, the police called it a tragic self-inflicted accident, but Dror was a star athlete, an outstanding student, and a really hot guy. Guys like him don’t just turn up half-naked and completely dead inside the trunk of their own car after a Purim costume party. And for Zohar, it’s personal. Dror was her husband Yiftach’s (38) adored older brother. Zohar is determined to reveal Dror’s real killer at the memorial event, taking place in one month. When Ellie gets a thrilled message from Zohar about her new investigation, she thinks it would be easy to talk her out of it. But Zohar is too stubborn, and Ellie realizes the only way to derail the case is to get on a plane and join it. Zohar has no idea that Ellie, the new Watson to her Sherlock, is the very person she’s trying to hunt down. And since Ellie’s already forced into what’s basically a never-ending high school reunion with the people who made her teenage years a living hell, she figures, why not use this opportunity to settle some scores and get revenge? Bad Blood, based on the graphic novel by Tamar Blumenfeld, is a dark detective comedy that pairs up the detective and the murderer, two ex-best friends, as they each confront the defining trauma that shaped their lives. It’s not a “whodunit”, but a “whydunit”. For Ellie, it’s also a coming-of-age story for someone who’s long overdue for one. She will have to finally stop using the past as an excuse and face the sins she’s worked so hard to bury. WRITER'S STATEMENT At first glance, Ellie is everything I want to be. Shameless, unapologetic, someone who knows her worth. But the more time I spent with her, I realized I’m not drawn to Ellie because she’s brave, but because she’s terrified. She’s constantly dodging responsibility, constantly refusing to grow up. And as much as it sucks to admit, I totally get that. I get not wanting to move forward. We live in a time when we’re finally, rightfully, shifting blame off victims and onto the people who wronged them. But sometimes it just feels good to be the victim. There’s comfort in it. The pain becomes a shield, a way to avoid risk, responsibility, growth. Victimhood is a hell of a drug, and a damn good excuse to stay in your comfort zone. It’s also a great way to escape accountability. As viewers try to understand Ellie and her actions, Ellie herself is undergoing a belated coming-of-age journey of her own. Even though Dror’s death occurred while she was trying to protect Zohar, and could technically be considered self-defense, Ellie still perceives herself as a murderer. That black-and-white view of herself is part of her defense mechanism. It reflects an inability to hold complexity and a method of avoiding true accountability. It’s easier for Ellie to see herself as a monster than to confront the messy truth. She prefers to stay in “everything happens to me” mode and let her trauma take the wheel as she plays the role of the child who is not responsible for anything. Ellie’s arc in the season demands that she stop running from that complexity and admit that during those awful, confusing moments, she killed Dror not only to save her friend but also because she was jealous of her. As horrifying as it sounds, Ellie envied the fact that Zohar was the one Dror chose as his victim, rather than her. Only when Ellie faces up to that truth and really owns it, can she finally move on. ABOUT THE WRITER Or Levy Berger is a screenwriter, director, and ginger. Graduated with honors as a screenwriting major from the Jerusalem Sam Spiegel Film School. Or was the head writer for Flashback Studio (Studio Amatzia, 2024+), a children’s comedy series that combines a live-action sitcom with anime-style animation, which aired on Kan Kids (Israeli Public Broadcasting). She also wrote for various other comedy series, including My Nephew from Hell and Bed & Biscuit. Or feels very self-conscious when she needs to write about herself in the third person, but she guesses that’s part of the format. PRODUCER'S STATEMENT "Bad Blood" expresses the voice of a generation. It is told through the perspective of a creator who belongs exactly to this generation of 30-somethings. The story reckons with the complexities of youth- its transgressions and the powerful, polar extremes ranging from deep insecurity and inferiority complexes to reckless overconfidence. Ellie tried to help Zohar but committed a "sin": she withheld critical information that could have completely transformed Zohar’s life, all under the guise of wanting to protect her. Zohar was raped without knowing she was raped. This raises a profound question: do we truly want to know the truths that could shatter the world we think we know and control? I believe this story, with its unique voice, is both universal and timeless. Yet, it remains specifically attuned to today’s 30-somethings and their capacity to face reality. This is a series that will be "must-watch" television in every home.
