EXCLUSIVE: A fast turnaround doc from filmmaker Duki Dror profiling the survivors of the surprise Hamas-led attack on a music festival in Israel is set to launch in Germany and France.
Hamas Festival Attack – The Survivors of the Desert Rave will launch on Arte as an ‘Arte Re:’ special on Tuesday, November 28 at 10:10 PM in Germany and 10:50 PM in France on Arte. ZDF is a shareholder in Arte Deutschland and often works with its French counterpart on doc programs.
An 50-minute international version is being readied under the title Supernova: The Music Festival Massacre by Leonine-owned producer Gebrueder Beetz Filmproduktion and Dror’s Zygote Films.
At least 365 people were killed when Hamas stormed the Supernova Sukkot Gathering near kibbutz Re’im as part of a coordinated attack on Israel on October 7. Around 40 more were kidnapped and taken to Gaza as hostages. Horrifying videos and images from the festival, which was attended by more than 3,500 people from multiple countries, have become synonymous with the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict, which has today seen a four-day ceasefire come into being.
The doc features interviews with the survivors of the massacre and first responders, and real-time footage collated from multiple sources. As part of a special program on Arte, interviews will be aired before and after the film, with survivors of the attack, director Duki Dror and producer Reinhardt Beetz.
A 50-minute version of the film titled “Supernova: The Music Festival Massacre” is currently being finalized and will be distributed worldwide within the next few weeks. In addition, Gebrueder Beetz is also working on One Day in October, a 90-minute high-end international documentary covering the massacre and its aftermath,
