The festival massacre, in which tens of people were killed by Hamas, is being made into a documentary.
The Sipur film studio has announced a documentary about the Israeli festival that fell victim to a Hamas attack on October 7th. Participants and key people who attended Supernova Sukkot Gathering – Parallelo Universo Edition will have their say. The documentary, whose title has not yet been determined, would like to honor the victims. The film will be broadcast on Israel’s Hot Channel 8 and HSCC. Directed by Yariv Mozer.
Documentary with interviews and video footage of the massacre
Hamas’ October 7 massacre at the Supernova music festival in Kibbutz Re’im claimed an estimated 260 civilian lives. The documentary by “Sipur” now aims to take a detailed look at the festival before, during and after the event. It will include interviews with investigators, soldiers and journalists, as well as previously unpublished film material collected by festival visitors.
“Their only sin was their desire for music.”
Yariv Mozer, who directed the documentary, says about the subject of his work: “Nothing prepared me for the cruel images. […] As a documentary filmmaker, I see it as my duty to bring the testimonies and horrific stories of the survivors of this massacre to the world. Young women and men whose only sin was their desire for music – and the passion to celebrate free love, spirit and freedom.”
“The world must never forget!”
“We rushed to make this documentary because we believe that we must do everything in our power to shed light on the greatest evil committed against our people since the Holocaust,” said “Sipur” CEO Emilio Schenker about the work. “The Supernova Music Festival must be seen and understood in its entirety to truly understand the significance of the unspeakable crimes against humanity that took place there. The world must never forget.”
A publication date has not yet been set. It is also unclear whether the film will be shown in this country.
