SUMMARY:Letter to David - Film Screening at the Weitzman
DESCRIPTION:A Letter to David\nDirected By Tom Shoval \nFilmmaker Tom Shoval crafts a personal cinematic letter to David Cunio\, who was abducted by Hamas from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7\, 2023\, and has been held hostage in Gaza ever since. Ten years ago\, David and his twin brother Eitan starred in Shoval’s award-winning debut feature film Youth (Berlinale 2013)\, which focused on the powerful bond between brothers and\, in a tragic and unimaginable twist of fate\, revolved around a kidnapping. Through unedited behind-the-scenes footage and audition tapes from Youth\, Shoval builds a multi-layered documentary that explores the inexplicable connections between life and cinema\, memory and reality\, and the catastrophic consequences of war. \nSee the film at a special screening at the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History\, 101 South Independence Mall East Philadelphia\, PA 19106. Film starts at 8pm\, doors open at 7:30pm \nClick here to register at the Weitzman Website
