Photo: Shai Carmeli Pollack, courtesy of Ophir Awards 25/09/25 The 13th Edition of the Sam Spiegel International Film Lab Concludes - and the Winners are... Prizes totaling $70,000 were awarded to promising new talents from around the world , as part of the closing session of the 13th Edition of the Sam Spiegel International Film Lab, at the Venice Production Bridge. 10 projects were pitched in front of an international jury including chief of staff of the Berlin International Film Festival- Florian Weghorn, The FFF Bayern co-head of funding- Judith Erber and Austrian producer Arash T. Riahi, who awarded prizes in the amount of $70,000. The Sam Spiegel International Film Lab $50,000 Grand Prize, donated by the Beracha Foundation was awarded to “Don’t be a Stranger” by Fillipe Fernandes. Producer - Dora Amorim. The jury statement read: “Intimacy pervades this project at every take: with its strong characters caught between longing and loss; in the profound depiction of life and love; and even in the portrayal of the everyday working life of someone who is, in the true sense of the word, a deeply caring person. All these elements come together in a film project of the utmost urgency for the director and the team, for the societies in which diversity is increasingly at threat - and hopefully, also with this award, very soon for a worldwide audience”. The Sam Spiegel International Film Lab Emerging Filmmaker Award in the amount of $20,000 was granted to “Thei night will be White” by Nir Guilat, Producer- Eviatar Moncaz. The jury statement read: “We decided to award the second prize to a film that not only has a great premise but also promises a celebration of child-like innocence within a society full of pain and trauma. A film that makes us laugh and cry at the same time, a film that embraces the beauty of going after our dreams no matter how banal they might seem for other people. A film that surprises us again and again. A film that brings light to the darkness of the night”. A special mention from the jury was given to a third project- “Milah”, by Amos Holtzman. Producer Talia Bernstein. The jury statement read: “The quality of all projects was so high that we would have loved to award all of you. However after careful discussions we decided to make an exception and announce a special mention to a story that represents the best of Israeli filmmaking. A film that dares to talk about taboos in the society with complexity and still allow us to laugh about those traumas, even if it’s a trauma about a piece of a penis. Through its human approach Milah has a huge potential to generate and fire up discussions about who owns our bodies: tradition or our own will”. For the first time in its 13-year history, the Sam Spiegel International Film Lab held its final pitching event as part of the Venice Production Bridge during the 82nd Venice International Film Festival. Dana Blankstein Cohen, executive director of the Sam Spiegel School: "In these horrific times, our moral compass compels us to voice the urgent need to end the war immediately. Holding the Lab’s pitching event in Venice underscores the importance of film havens worldwide - safe, creative spaces where filmmakers gather, exchange, and launch films that envision a more compassionate and secure world for all. We carry a creative responsibility to empower Palestinian and Israeli students and filmmakers, to protect freedom of speech, and to preserve the collaborative work of film between creators from diverse backgrounds". Mor Eldar, Director of the Sam Spiegel Labs adds: “10 Projects from all over the world and from various religions- Christians, Muslims and Jews, shared 8 months of thorough development process together, which culminated in one of the world’s most important film festivals. While working on their first or second films they demonstrated again the power of film to connect people, behind the scenes and in front of the camera”. 03/09/25 Welcome to Venice!

BAGARRES / FIST FIGHTS BAGARRES / FIST FIGHTS Catherine Cosme Producer Julie Esparbes (Hélicotronc) Lab Edition 10 , 2022 SCENE PITCH Production Country Belgium SYNOPSIS Gloria is raising her autistic son Antoine (15 years old) alone. She strives to make her son's life as 'normal' as possible. During the weekly school swimming class, Antoine almost drowns Lucie (13 years old). This incident affects not only Gloria's life but also that of Ajar, Lucie's mother. Despite their hostile feelings, Gloria and Ajar must find a way to get along. As an unexpected friendship develops between them, each mother will experience a new dimension of what it means to be a parent. DIRECTOR'S NOTE With "Bagarres", I want to pay tribute to mothers like Gloria, to their tenacity in this world where taking care of autistic children remains an everyday struggle, given the inadequacy of  institutions. “Bagarre” is about those who are invisible, the ones society rejects. I wanted a film that moves towards enlightenment, encourages breaking down barriers and - through the meeting of Gloria and Ajar - towards sorority, as an invitation from society to the possibility of not being perfectly "normal". LOG LINE An immersion into the life of Gloria, a former professional boxer who is raising her autistic son alone. When Antoine is expelled from school, the fragile balance of their lives is shaken. Gloria will have to open up to others and above all accept her son's autism. ABOUT THE FILMMAKER PRODUCER Julie Esparbes (Hélicotronc) Hélicotronc is a production company created in 2002. The company has produced nearly a hundred films, including shorts and features, fictions, documentaries and series. Most of these films have been widely presented in festivals and on television, some in the most prestigious ones: Cannes, Berlin, Venice or Toronto. In the most recent titles of the company: the feature film “Madly in life”, by Ann Sirot and Raphaël Balboni, winner of 7 Magritte in 2022, and notably the Magritte of the Best Film; the series “Good Pepole”, coproduced by RTBF and Arte France, which premiered at Series Mania 2022 and the feature film “Dalva”, by Emmanuelle Nicot, which was presented at La Semaine de la Critique 2022 and won 3 awards there (Prix de la Révélation, Rail d’Or, and Prix Fipresci).

Moods Add a Title Add a Title Send Send Lee Shira Producers: , Shira Porat Moods Lab Edition 2 2023 PITCH LOGLINE A "Dancing with the Stars" choreographer discovers her mom is homeless, forcing her to blend her glitzy world with messy reality. SYNOPSIS When Daniela, who distanced herself from her mother for the sake of her sanity, discovers she is now homeless, she faces the choice of inviting chaos back into her life. A few years after Daniela (30) deliberately cut ties with her uncontrollable mother Ramona (60), to pursue her dreams as a successful choreographer, her carefully crafted life takes an unexpected turn. On the night of Mickey's marriage proposal, Daniela's doorbell rings, revealing a police officer and the long-lost Ramona. Having lost everything, sold the house and savings, homeless and in dire straits, Ramona has nowhere else to turn. Daniela is forced to bring her into her and Mickey's apartment - to help her rebuild her life. She finds her a job, opens her a bank account, tries to understand what happened to her in the months she was on the street and how she got there. Daniela allows her chaotic mother into her life, disrupting the stability she worked so hard to achieve. As Daniela juggles wedding plans, demanding celebrities from ""Dancing with the stars"" production, and caring for her helpless mother, her once-stable life crumbles. The bond with Mickey weakens, and her dream job teeters on the brink. Surprisingly, her mother's return sparks Daniela's dormant passions and emotions. Daniela finds herself doing things she never dreamt of: Stealing from stores and chasing wild boars in the middle of the night half-naked because her mother can't sleep. She breaks into her childhood home, chases after robbers or innocent people whom her mother suspects have touched her things. She breaks into a random wedding she wasn't invited to and is almost swept away in a stormy affair that will destroy her relationship , supported by her own mother. Through a shared journey, they rediscover each other. Two girls. One of them is a mother and the other a daughter. But it is not clear who is who and when. WRITER'S STATEMENT Ten years ago, I discovered that my mother was living on the streets. For three months, she navigated the challenges of homelessness, showering in beach facilities and sleeping on rooftops, all while keeping this reality hidden from me due to shame and lack of courage. Growing up in an affluent neighborhood with friends from the top decile, the harsh economic truth was unfamiliar and embarrassing. During that year, I learned that my mother had a diagnosed borderline personality structure, revealing that her struggles were not merely perceived subjectively. This revelation led me to view her with greater sympathy. What initially seemed an overwhelming challenge became a pivotal moment that positively shaped my character. Navigating the financial struggles to support my mother fostered independence. Taking charge of her life compelled me to take control of my own. Through this process, my self-esteem strengthened, and I embraced responsibility. Similar to an inexperienced parent faced with caring for a newborn, I found myself with a 65-year-old ""baby"" who wore a coat in August and resisted wearing underwear. My mother is a complex character—unexpected, original, truthful, deceptive, humorous, and at times, challenging. Despite her quirks, she possesses the most generous heart and the keenest mind. I am writing this series with immense love, aiming to touch the hearts of those who watch it. I hope it elicits laughter, evokes emotions, and encourages viewers to approach others with greater understanding. My goal is to challenge preconceived notions of normalcy and insanity, parenting and love. PRODUCER'S STATEMENT An 8-episode romantic comedy providing a different, witty, funny, and touching perspective on a between mother-daughter relationship which has been severed due to the mother's mental illness. Mental illness is a common phenomenon that turns families upside down, and we believe that anyone whose family has been challenged, will relate to this human story led by two strong women – a universal story that will draw an international crowd of viewers. This is my 3rd collaboration with the creator Shira Porat, after Embezzlement (for "yes") which sold worldwide, and Motobank which is in development in Reshet and "yes". I think Shira is one of the most talented creators in our industry. She has a fresh and innovative voice, she is dedicated and versatile and I believe this series will be a big success. LOOKING FOR We are seeking financing partners who share our passion for innovative storytelling and understand the value of investing in globally resonant content. We are looking for broadcasters, co-producers, and investors to collaborate and contribute both financial resources and strategic guidance to help us bring our vision to life.

Wagako 我が子 Wagako 我が子 Coralie Watanabe Prosper Producers Miyuki Fukuma, Delphine Tomson, Garance Cosimano Lab Edition: 12 , 2024 SCENE PITCH Production Bunbuku, Japan; No Yelling Productions, France Country France, Japan, Belgium SYNOPSIS Tom, in her thirties, lives in France with Saki, her Japanese wife and their four year old boy, Genki. The family leads a fulfilling life until their world is flipped upside down during a trip to Japan where Saki passes away suddenly. After the tragedy, Saki’s parents consider it their duty to raise Genki in Japan - an inconceivable decision for Tom, who resolves to fight to remain the mother of her child. DIRECTOR'S NOTE Being married to a Japanese woman myself, the need to give life to this story originates from the anguish of what we could one day have to go through. Even though "Wagako" is different from our reality, the storyline grew from our own administrative issues and our suffering of not being recognized as a legal couple in Japan. Indeed, same sex marriage is not allowed in the country of the rising sun. My wife and I deeply wish to make our own family but how do we tread this path - knowing full well that we will not be able to ensure security to this unborn child. ABOUT THE FILMMAKER Coralie Watanabe Prosper graduated from the National Film School of Nice. Her final project, "Mathi(eu)", is a multi-award-winning short film screened around the world.

Coralie has just completed her short film "Kotowari" and is now focusing on her first feature film, "Wagako", produced in Japan by Miyuki Fukuma from Bunbuku, Hirokazu Kore-eda’s film production company.
