'Our Loves' is a film about people, not October 7, Israeli filmmaker Avi Nesher tells 'Post'
Avi Nesher’s ‘Our Loves’ follows ordinary Israelis whose lives are upended by October 7, transforming a story of horror into a moving exploration of survival, love, change, and hope.
Israeli filmmaker Avi Nesher has said that his latest film, *Our Loves*, is about people, not the October 7 terror attacks. In an interview, Nesher explained that after the tragic event, he initially thought about making a film about it, but found it difficult to do so. Instead, he chose to tell the stories of ordinary people who were caught up in the attack, showing their struggles to survive and fight back.
The film will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 13, and will open the Haifa International Film Festival on September 26 before being released in Israeli theaters on October 15.
