Ben-Mayor & Farag Studio was established in 2016 by Kobi Farag and Morris Ben-Mayor. Their collaboration on Kobi Farag’s debut film, Photo Farag, forged a deep connection between them, and they soon decided to formalize their creative partnership by founding a documentary film production company.
Over the years, the duo has produced several notable works, including Private Album (2018), which aired on Reshet 13, and Illuminating Yossi (2019), a film about Yossi Banai that won the Israeli Documentary Forum awards for both Editing and Soundtrack. Their subsequent projects include The Queen Shoshana (2021), which served as the opening film for the Docaviv Festival, and The Center (2023), which premiered at Docaviv and was distributed by Lev Cinemas. In 2024, their three-part series Lion’s Roar, about the Jewish-Mizrahi Orthodox movement Shas, premiered on HOT8.
Throughout the past year (2025), the studio directed and produced two additional films: Tonight with Yehoram Gaon, which premiered at the DocuText Festival, and The Dreamer, a documentary about actor Yosef Shiloach that premiered at the 2025 Jerusalem Film Festival and is currently screening in cinematheques across the country.
The pair is now working on their upcoming projects, which include The Silken Ladder, a film about the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Silsulim, a documentary series focusing on Mizrahi music, and All People Are Good, a film following the artistic journey of singer Amir Lev.
