SIPUR, HOT Channel 8 & HSCC Team for Music Festival Massacre Doc

SIPUR, HOT Channel 8 and HSCC have begun production on a new film documentary telling the story of the October 7 Hamas attack at the music festival in Kibbutz Re’im.

SIPUR has acquired exclusive material from participants and key people at the festival. Seeking to honor the victims, the filmmakers will present an in-depth look at the festival before, during and after the events took place. It is set to be released in Israel and globally over the coming year.

The doc is led by award-winning director Yariv Mozer. Mozer said: “I have seen things in my life. I have lived through wars; I have fought in wars, and I have even filmed during a war. But nothing prepared me to the harsh images I have seen in the remains of the massacre that took place at the Nova music festival. I see it as my duty as a documentary filmmaker to bring to the world the testimonies and horrific stories from the survivors of this slaughter. Young women and men whose only sin was their desire for music and the passion to celebrate free love, spirit and freedom.”

Emilio Schenker, SIPUR’s CEO, commented: “We have moved quickly to make this documentary because we believe it is imperative to do everything in our power to shine a light on the greatest evil committed against our people since the Holocaust. The Supernova Music Festival must be seen and understood in its entirety to truly understand the larger meaning of the unspeakable crimes against humanity that occurred there. The world must never forget.”
