Capturing the immediate aftermath of the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel, 8 testimonies of survivors are interwoven with animations and simulations, vividly depicting the impact across eight critical locations.
An exceptional documentary capturing the harrowing events of the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel with profound sensitivity. It features firsthand accounts from survivors at seven different attack sites, each story vividly brought to life through the creative use of miniature models and animations.
The film is the result of a collaborative creative effort by 100 artists specializing in miniature design and animation. They joined forces with filmmakers to document the experiences of survivors and rescuers who were interviewed during the first week of the war. Often, these interviews serve as the first recorded accounts of the events. The use of miniatures and animation creates an artistic distance that allows viewers to watch the film without being exposed to distressing images, while also generating empathy, emotional impact, and a profound connection that leaves a lasting impression on the audience.
