Of Dogs and Men

How is it possible to make a narrative film that addresses the massive horror of the October 7 attacks by Hamas in Israel, and also acknowledges the tragedy of the inevitable retribution just across the border in Gaza? In the case of Dani Rosenberg’s Of Dogs and Men, the answer is by going small. With deep humanism and sensitivity, he tells the story of a 16-year-old survivor who returns to her kibbutz searching for her lost dog. Remarkably, Rosenberg picked up his camera to start filming less than a month after the attacks. A touching, necessary, and poetic work.

“For a conflict in which many people feel obliged to take sides, the director adapts a more humanistic approach, showing how wars can be completely indiscriminate when it comes to the killing of innocents.”
Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter
