SUPERNOVA: THE MUSIC FESTIVAL MASSACRE
film by Yossi Bloch & Duki Darwish Dror
52 min runtime

Supernova – The Music Festival Massacre. The documentary pieces together dramatic eyewitness accounts from survivors and first responders of the massacre along with real-time footage collated from multiple sources. While it is a painful watch, we wish to offer the ability to view this film to all who are willing as a stark reminder of the atrocities committed on October 7th.

This film provides a retrospective of 24 hours at the Nova festival in Re'im through the lens of those who endured the horror.

October 7, 2023, began like any ordinary day for concertgoers at the Nova Music Festival, located in Re'im, Israel. There were over 3,500 attendees from different countries at that week's festivities, immersing themselves in days of bliss and endless dance parties. Out of nowhere, as the sun rose that early Shabbat morning, the world changed forever. What started out as missiles hitting Israel's Iron Dome turned into Hamas terrorists infiltrating the area, shooting everyone in sight. What started out as a dance party, a place of comfort and simha, transformed into a bloodbath.
