Shahar Hason

The grand celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Festigal is taking the stage. Legendary stars of previous Festigal shows have assembled to honor the show's legacy and revisit their classic songs. But behind the scenes, not everything seems to go according to plan. Previous villains of the Festigal show are furious that they weren't invited to join the celebration. Led by their anonymous leader, they scheme to sabotage the production. Due to COVID restrictions, the show couldn't be performed live. Therefore, it was pre-recorded and streamed online, with multi-choice interactive moments, "choose your own adventure"-style, using the Eko platform.

Just as the Festigal is about to celebrate its 40th anniversary, the COVID outbreak prevents it from taking place. Disappointed children and stars rally together to protest the legendary director, Hanoch Rosen, not to give up on the show, exactly when the kids of 2020 need it the most. The short film serves as a prologue to the full show and its preceding online activities, as well as an introductory video to the interactive elements of the Eko system, through which it was originally released.

"PRIME TIME MOM", courageously attempts to answer the question: What would happen if a member of parliament's son were kidnapped to Gaza during the events of October 7th? The film follows Gur (played by Evyatar Ozari), the son of Knesset Member Dafni Gut (played by Orna Banai) and a senior news editor, who is forced to choose between his career and his disintegrating family. He must conceal the fact that his brother has been kidnapped to Gaza, while his mother uses unethical means to rescue him. Meanwhile, the 24 News' CEO, Ofer (played by Shahar Hasson), begins to suspect that she is hiding something from the public. The film, which was written by Matanel Gotlib, real-life son of a Knesset Member Tally Gotlib, and a real-life news director, offers a unique perspective on family and politics as never before seen, as well as on the world of media.

New comedy film inspired by the Israeli classic "Halfon Hill Doesn't Answer", released to celebrate its 50th anniversary. Somewhere in the Great Rift Valley stands a small, forgotten, and seemingly useless military base. When the Chinese government offers the state of Israel an enormous sum of cash to lay the path of their new Silk Road through it, all that seems to be done is to shut this base down. Ran Shem Tov, a "disassembly officer" who was deployed to command due to "military streamlining needs", is recruited for this mission. But the thing Ran and the heads of the IDF don't know is that an old bunker was built beneath the base, for which no one remembers the cause of construction. Lately, strange things have been happening in it, which delay the base's shutdown. These events bring all soldiers together against internal and external forces.
