Ben-Mayor & Farag Studio<\/strong> was established in 2016 by Kobi Farag and Morris Ben-Mayor. Their collaboration on Kobi Farag\u2019s debut film, Photo Farag<\/em>, forged a deep connection between them, and they soon decided to formalize their creative partnership by founding a documentary film production company.<\/p>\r\n

Over the years, the duo has produced several notable works, including Private Album<\/em> (2018), which aired on Reshet 13, and Illuminating Yossi<\/em> (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<\/em> (2021), which served as the opening film for the Docaviv Festival, and The Center<\/em> (2023), which premiered at Docaviv and was distributed by Lev Cinemas. In 2024, their three-part series Lion’s Roar<\/em>, about the Jewish-Mizrahi Orthodox movement Shas,\u00a0premiered on HOT8.<\/p>\r\n

Throughout the past year (2025), the studio directed and produced two additional films: Tonight with Yehoram Gaon<\/em>, which premiered at the DocuText Festival, and The Dreamer<\/em>, a documentary about actor Yosef Shiloach that premiered at the 2025 Jerusalem Film Festival and is currently screening in cinematheques across the country.<\/p>\r\n

The pair is now working on their upcoming projects, which include The Silken Ladder<\/em>, a film about the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Silsulim<\/em>, a documentary series focusing on Mizrahi music, and All People Are Good<\/em>, a film following the artistic journey of singer Amir Lev.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
