A day ahead of the third anniversary of the October 7th massacre, more than 400 people attended a screening in Paris on Tuesday of Heartbreak, a black-and-white hybrid documentary exploring the events of the first year following the attacks.
The film, directed by Jessica Vaturi-Dembo, highlights personal stories of survival, loss, and resilience, conveying the human impact of October 7th through art.
Tuesday’s screening was co-organized by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM), Magen David Adom France, and Women United for Peace.
Vaturi-Dembo participated in the event, as did Israeli Ambassador to France Joshua Zarka.
Proceeds from the evening will go to supporting educational initiatives and campaigns against antisemitism.
CAM Executive Director of European Affairs Shannon Seban said, “Heartbreak is powerful precisely because of its humanity. It reminds us that art can sometimes reach people where speeches cannot by giving a face and a voice to trauma, memory, and resilience.”
“This is also very much part of CAM’s mission — to transmit, educate, and give a voice to those whose stories need to be heard, while finding new ways to fight antisemitism,” she added. “Culture, cinema and art are essential tools to reach broader audiences and make our message resonate beyond the usual circles.”
