Filmmakers Duki Dror and Yossi Bloch offer a chronological account of the massacre at the Supernova Music Festival through the eyes of the individuals who endured it. Mixing materials meticulously collected from dozens of sources—terrorists’ GoPros, victims’ phones, CCTV cameras, dashcams, and first responders’ recordings—with testimonies by survivors, first responders and parents who recount their stories just a few days after the events.
Just three days after the October 7 Hamas terror onslaught on Israel, longtime Israeli filmmaker Duki Dror visited the location of an infamous massacre from that Saturday morning — the site of the Supernova music festival.
Dror is a veteran documentarian, and his films have tended toward geopolitical subjects in recent years. Now he took on a more visceral subject. Four months after that first visit to the Supernova site, he brought the finished film to the United States: Supernova: The Music Festival Massacre.
“It was really tough,” Dror told The Times of Israel. “I think it’s the hardest film I ever made. I did a few in my career. This one was really tough, really hard emotionally.”
