Like Federico, the character in my film, I got scared but not much more than that at the time. I went into the bathroom, looked into the mirror and said goodbye to my face and my life. I knew that soon, when I looked at myself again, I would see another face: that of someone with a very different life. Rather than talking about death, in this film I am interested in talking about how, after a traumatic event, not only our perception of things changes, but also the intensity of the present. Of the need to learn to get up and look at things from another place. What it means to reconnect with the world. That is why I choose to tell the story from the point of view of a teenager, “the other son”, who must find his way in the shadow of his dead brother. This is a film of strong contrasts –of light, of feelings, of contexts– and I am concerned with portraying them with an electric intensity. I will try to portray the depth of existence, not through imposed or solemn staging, but through the energy inherent in the use of non-professional actors and in the city of Bogotá. I want to speak out loud about my brother’s death, my family’s madness, and my own pain, but, above all, about the light that comes after darkness. The difficult light, more beautiful than ever, that all humans must see sooner or later. DIRECTOR'S NOTE SYNOPSIS A teenager who after the sudden and unexpected death of his younger brother, falls in love with his deceased brother's ex-girlfriend and, through that love, finds the strength to fight on. ​ Franco Lolli SCENE PITCH Franco Lolli Producer: ​ & Juan Sebastián Quebrada The Other Son 9 Lab Edition: , Year 2021 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 PARTICIPANTS & PROJECTS LAB FILMS PARTICIPATION APPLICATION PARTICIPANTS OBLIGATIONS RULES & REGULATIONS FILM FAQ FILM LAB HOME TEAM NEWS LABS HOME FILM LAB WHO'S WHO MENTORS JURY SCOUTS AND PITCHING DECISION MAKERS PARTICIPANTS & PROJECTS LAB FILMS PARTICIPATION APPLICATION RULES & REGULATIONS FILM FAQ

Through it, we want to dive into the complexity of family ties and dynamics. While both of us come from religious families, and neither of us are religious today, we wanted to tell a story that looks at the world from which we come with a complex POV in order to examine the possibility to bridge gaps and repair relationships despite the pain of the past. DIRECTOR'S NOTE SYNOPSIS After years of estrangement, Max returns to the home of his ultra-Orthodox immigrant family to visit his father who is suffering from Parkinson and is near death. As he reconnects with his siblings and parents, memories resurface, unraveling the complexities of his relationship with his larger-than-life father. Spanning various timeframes and places, the story explores questions of religious faith, loyalty, and the possibility of rekindling love and achieving genuine acceptance. ​ Adi Bar Yossef SCENE PITCH Adi Bar Yossef Producer: Nachman Picovsky & Tamar Kay, Nachman Picovsky Bris 11 Lab Edition: , Year 2023 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 PARTICIPANTS & PROJECTS LAB FILMS PARTICIPATION APPLICATION PARTICIPANTS OBLIGATIONS RULES & REGULATIONS FILM FAQ FILM LAB HOME TEAM NEWS LABS HOME FILM LAB WHO'S WHO MENTORS JURY SCOUTS AND PITCHING DECISION MAKERS PARTICIPANTS & PROJECTS LAB FILMS PARTICIPATION APPLICATION RULES & REGULATIONS FILM FAQ
