‘Our Loves’: Director Avi Nesher on His October 7 Film, Netanyahu and Boycotts Over Israeli Art
Director Avi Nesher’s new film, 'Our Loves,' explores the personal lives of five individuals affected by the October 7, 2023, attacks in Israel. The film, premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, focuses on human stories rather than political or military analysis.
Why it matters
The film addresses the cultural and emotional impact of a major geopolitical conflict through the lens of personal narrative.
The terror attacks of Oct. 7, 2023, wherein Hamas and other Palestinian militants poured across the Gaza-Israel barrier into southern Israel, attacking 21 communities and killing 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals (and abducting an additional 251 people), have been revisited a number of times via documentaries ( "We Will Dance Again" ) and miniseries ( "One Day in October" ), but now it is coming to the silver screen.
