Vigil for Hamas Hostage Israeli Actor David Cunio Held on Potsdamer Platz as Berlinale Opens
As the Berlinale opens a vigil was held on the Potsdamer Platz for Israeli actor David Cunio who was kidnapped by Hamas on Oct. 7 and has not returned
Cunio is also the subject of the documentary “A Letter to David,” by filmmaker Tom Shoval, which premieres Feb. 14 in the Berlinale Special section. The group behind the vigil, called Bring David Home Now, has published on open letter whose more than a hundred signatories includes directors Michel Franco and Ari Folman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and German stars Iris Berben and Andrea Sawatzki, and prominent producer Max Wiedemann. As the film festival starts, and Berlin becomes full of life and art, we call for the immediate release of David, his brother Ariel, and the many dozens of Israeli hostages who are being held in the tunnels of Gaza.
