Scrim??

Hi I hope this is in the right place

I am planning the lighting for a touring production of "A Month of Sundays" by Bob Larbey. It requires a lit backdrop viewed through a window. I expect we will be using flats, and I plan to have a light behind these to light the backdrop. However I don't want it to be lit by the general stage lighting. Would a scrim across the window achieve this, i.e. not allowing stage lights through, but showing up backdrop when lights behind are up. Bear in mind we don't have much room behind the flats.

Can anyone think of a better way to do it?

Also where can I get some scrim/gauze??

Black scrim will do this, but its going to be seen through with any light thats behind it.
