#Nova:
Raw and Unfiltered
A screening and discussion
In collaboration with UJA-Federation of New York,
the Israel Mission to the United Nations,
& Consulate General of Israel in New York
Sometimes the only way to comprehend the truth, no matter how horrifying, is to look at it unblinkingly.
That’s the least that the October 7 invasion by Hamas demands.
After all, even after watching fleeting images shown on TV or social media, it is impossible to fully grasp the moment when the sound of rockets overtook the music and scores of terrorists turned Israel’s Nova festival into a massacre: The thousands of partygoers racing in panic as Hamas fighters gleefully filmed the slaughter on their phones. Young people hunting for places to hide as they were pursued by armed Gazans. Terrified Israelis calling and texting their families . . . begging for help that didn’t come.
Now, Israeli filmmakers have given the world a way to experience those moments, having compiled real-time video and audio footage taken by more than 3,500 Nova partiers and by Hamas militants into a searing documentary film. #NOVA isn’t easy to watch. But NEVER AGAIN has no meaning if we avert our eyes.
The film will be followed by a panel discussion with:
Dan Peer, Director
Eran Masas, Israeli First Responder at Nova Festival
Opening Remarks by Israel’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Jonathan Miller.
