About event
A LETTER TO DAVID (Michtav Le'David). Documentary by Tom Shoval -- in cinemas from October 7th. Original version with German subtitles. Tue 07.10. 8:00 p.m. + Wed 08.10. 6:00 p.m.
Director Tom Shoval returns to the international stage with a deeply moving, personal documentary - a work that couldn't be more painfully timely. The focus is on David Cunio, one of the twin brothers who shaped Shoval's acclaimed feature film debut Youth (Berlinale Panorama) in 2013 - a story about two brothers who commit a kidnapping out of desperation.
Today the subject is no longer fiction. On October 7, 2023, David Cunio and his family were kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz by Hamas terrorists. His wife and young daughters are released after 52 days. David, on the other hand, is – to this day – a hostage and victim of terror, dead or alive. Shoval, the brothers' long-time companion, responds with a filmic essay - a letter to a friend, an actor, a brother.
He touchingly weaves together archive footage, unpublished behind-the-scenes material from Youth, home videos, memories of the Cunio family and interviews with David's twin brother Eitan, who lives in Israel waiting for his return. What emerges is a multi-perspective memory image - a haunting reflection on the fragile interplay of reality and fiction, on war, trauma and the incessant longing for normality.
