Documentary on Israeli singer Noga Erez to premiere at Tribeca Film Festival

The Tribeca Film Festival will host the premiere of "Noga," a documentary chronicling the journey of Israeli indie musician Noga Erez. The film is set to screen on June 7 as part of the festival's Spotlight program, with additional showings on June 8 and 11.

Filmed over five years, the documentary promises an unfiltered portrayal of Erez's path to stardom. Directors Jono and Benji Bergmann reportedly capture Erez speaking candidly about significant and often contentious topics. These include the ongoing war, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the impact of boycotts on Israeli entertainers, the Hamas hostage crisis, and her personal relationship with musical partner Ori Rousso.

Erez and Rousso, along with their band, have continued their international performances following the October 7 Hamas-led attacks. Their electro-pop music has gained a growing audience across the U.S. and Europe. While Erez has occasionally addressed anti-Israel sentiments on social media, this film marks a more in-depth exploration of her experiences and perspectives.

Following the screening, Erez and Rousso are scheduled to deliver an acoustic performance. The Tribeca Film Festival also features another Israeli film, Ruthy Pribar's "What is to Come," which is competing in the international section. "Noga" aims to offer audiences a comprehensive look at the artist's life, career, and the complex issues she navigates.
