Description
Official Selection, 2024 Venice Film Festival
Israeli auteur Dani Rosenberg expertly blends fiction and documentary to explore the aftermath of the October 7th attack. Shot on location in Kibbutz Nir Oz weeks after the assault, the film follows Dar, a teenager who survived the onslaught and returns home in search of her lost dog. Along the way, she meets kibbutz residents, soldiers, pathologists, volunteers and a teacher, all of whom are non-actors whose improvised conversations authentically capture their complex reactions to the violence in both Israel and Gaza. Caught between those intent on revenge and those committed to peace, the film offers a unique account of the impact of October 7th on the Israeli psyche.

| Reviews | "Despite the intensity of what we’re seeing, there are no easy sentiments or pathos-ridden scenes in Of Dogs and Men, but rather the desire to capture the aftermath of the attacks as earnestly as possible." - The. Hollywood Reporter "A fantastic film that demonstrates the strengths and weaknesses of modern storytelling in the modern era." - Gazettely |
