Bio: The Israeli filmmakers Tal Granit and Sharon Maymon wrote and directed 'Mortgage' (2006), winner of the Best Drama Award at the Jerusalem Film Festival. They partnered again on two shorts, 'To kill a bumblebee' (Locarno 2009) and 'Summer vacation' (Sundance 2012, was shortlisted for the Oscar). In 2010, the duo won the Best Pitch Award at the Berlinale for the script of 'My sweet euthanasia', on which 'The farewell party' is based. That controversial and acclaimed film has since then been selected as part of the 2014 editions of Venice International Film Festival's Venice Days and won the people choice award and the Brian award. The Farewell party screened also at the Toronto International Film Festival and was distributed in over 25 countries around the world. Their second feature 'HaNeshef' premiered in Tribeca 2019, and their latest feature was led by Andie MacDowel alongside British actresses Miriam Margolis, Tamsin Grieg, Sally Phillips and Rakhee Takarar.
