The film presents the tragic events of the October 7th massacre at the Supernova music festival, as they unfold, minute by minute, using only festival survivors’ camera footage, and terrorists’ body camera recordings.
The Nova tribe, a community of over 10,000 psychedelic trance music enthusiasts, has in recent years, gathered together for an annual outdoor festival. This year’s event, held on October 7th in southern Israel, close to the border with Gaza, ended in a devastating tragedy, with the cold-blooded massacre of over 300 partygoers and the abduction of a further 40. During the days following the event, director Dan Pe’er, who was engaged in volunteer efforts to aid survivors, started receiving a multitude of video and audio clips from survivors. #NOVA chronicles the harrowing atrocities as they unfold. With no outside intervention, the raw documentary reveals the true, bone-chilling atrocities of October 7th.
