‘Of Dogs And Men’ Director Dani Rosenberg & Producer Alexander Rodnaynsky Talk Making The October 7 Drama, The Petition Calling To Boycott Israeli Films & Why Their Project Is “An Important Statement About Peace” — Venice
Director Dani Rosenberg and producer Alexander Rodnyansky discuss their Venice title set after October 7 and how the Israeli film is about "peace"
EXCLUSIVE: After last year’s October 7 attacks in Israel, local director Dani Rosenberg struggled to make sense of the horrors of the massacre and the ensuing war that would unleash what he describes as “unimaginable suffering, defying comprehension.” Feeling helpless, he decided to throw himself into what he knew best – filmmaking – and began asking himself the daunting question of whether or not these events could be represented or depicted on screen. Rosenberg wrote the film with Itai Tamir and its star Ori Avinoam, who plays 16-year-old Dar who returns to her kibbutz to look for her dog that was lost in the attack on October 7.
