Curiosità

Of Dogs and Men is a 2024 Israeli docudrama directed by Dani Rosenberg, focusing on the aftermath of the 7 October attacks.

Production

Filming took place at Kibbutz Nir Oz only weeks after the October 7 attacks. The kibbutz was the scene of the Nir Oz attack on October 7, where an estimated 180 out of 400 residents died or taken as hostages to the Gaza Strip. Kibbutz survivors were also filmed for the project and speak directly to the camera. The dialogue in the film is mostly improvised and there was no set construction.

It premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival on 5 September 2024 in the Orizzonti section. Artists For Palestine Italia launched an unsuccessful petition campaign to pull Israeli films, including Of Dogs and Men and Amos Gitai's Why War, from the festival. Producer, Alexander Rodnyansky criticised the petition as "misguided and shortsighted".

It was also part of the lineup of the New York Jewish Film Festival, where it was screened on 23 January 2025.

It will also screen at the Woodstock Film Festival on 17 October 2025.
