TORN: Online Film Screening and Director Q and A
Hosted By: Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA)
In this exclusive JTA event, you’ll watch the acclaimed film “TORN” live on Zoom and then hear directly from the director and others involved in the movie!
After Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attacks, artists and activists put up posters with the faces of Israeli hostages across New York City. What followed was a symbolic battle for public space — strangers ripped, defended, and raged in the streets, and empathy was the first thing to go.
On Oct. 16, just after the two-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks, watch the film that captured the New York poster wars — and the free speech debate that is still reverberating across the United States.
You’ll hear directly from and be able to pose questions to:
Nim Shapira, the film’s director
Nitzan Mintz and Dede BandAid, the poster designers
Nina Mogilnik, an activist featured in the film
Julia Simon, a friend of Omer Neutra, who was killed by Hamas on Oct. 7
All registrants will receive a recording of the discussion portion of the event.
