Guygu

A short animated documentary about Guy Gilboa Dalal, who was kidnapped from the Nova party and was held hostage by Hamas for over two years. The short film features Guy’s story through the voices of his family. They share memories from his childhood, recount the traumatic events of his abduction, and describe Guy’s love of anime and his hopes for the trip of a lifetime to Japan.

The film blurs the lines between reality and fantasy – between the horrifying moments of the kidnapping, drawn from real footage provided by Guy’s family, and the agonizing silence that followed. What has he endured in captivity? How does he pass the time? We focused on the hope that, in his darkest hours, Guy might find solace in the fantastical worlds he conjured up, inspired by the anime he adores.

This film was created during the time of guys captivity.
