History[edit]

SIPUR was originally founded as Tadmor Entertainment in 2015 by Gideon Tadmor, an Israeli businessman involved in oil and gas exploration.[3][4] The company is headquartered in Herzliya, Israel. Emilio Schenker serves as the company's CEO.[5][6]

In 2020, Tadmor Entertainment and MGM entered a multi-year television agreement to develop, co-produce and finance original scripted TV series including local Israeli content as well as other productions which would be geared towards international audiences.[7][8][9][10][11] Both companies started co-producing projects including the documentary series The Devil’s Confession: The Lost Eichmann Tapes.[12] In 2021, Tadmor Entertainment and MGM announced that they would co-produce a television miniseries about Iranian judoka Saeid Mollaei and his friendship with Israeli judoka Sagi Muki.[13][14][15][16]

In 2022, the company rebranded, changing its name to SIPUR.[17][18][19][20] During the same year, the company renewed its agreement with MGM.[21][22]

In September 2023, SIPUR and Israeli broadcaster Reshet13 entered into a multi-year co-financing and co-production agreement, to develop various scripted and documentary series.[23][24]

In the aftermath of the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, the company announced that it was producing a documentary about the events of October 7th, 2023, with a focus on the Re'im music festival massacre. The documentary, titled WE WILL DANCE AGAIN, and directed by Yariv Mozer, utilized footage captured by people at the festival, as well as testimonies from survivors of the attack.[25][26] The project which was a co-production between SIPUR, Israel’s HOT8 and HSCC Productions, MGM Studios, Bitachon365 was sold to the BBC.

In 2024, SIPUR co-produced and co-financed the film "Oh, Canada" directed by Paul Schrader and starring Richard Gere and Uma Thurman.
