Noga, the documentary supported by the Blavatnik Family Foundation and executive produced by Leonard Blavatnik is about to get its Austrian theatrical release. Directed by Vienna-based brothers Jono and Benji Bergmann, the film follows Israeli musician Noga Erez and her partner and collaborator, Ori Rousso, over five years of creative work and personal change. The October 7 attacks and the war in Gaza alter the course of the documentary, expanding it from an artist portrait into an examination of identity, cultural boycotts, public pressure and artistic responsibility. Following its world premiere at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival, Noga has continued to reach audiences at international film festivals and draw awards attention. The film will have its Austrian premiere at Vienna’s Stadtkino on August 20 and open in selected cinemas on August 21. Read the article here.
