Avi Nesher's film, Our Loves, which depicts characters caught in the October 7 massacre, has been selected for the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in its Centerpiece section. This selection is seen as a significant breakthrough against an unofficial international boycott of Israeli cinema, especially for films telling Israeli stories in Hebrew. The film has garnered 12 Ophir Awards nominations and secured co-production deals with international entertainment companies FOX Entertainment Studios and Access Entertainment.

“Our Loves is perhaps the most significant opportunity Israel has been given to present the human story of October 7 to the world,”

said SIPUR CEO Emilio Schenker. Liron Edery of United King Films added that the TIFF selection indicates the boycott of Israeli cinema is “gradually crumbling.” The film's producers hope it will resonate with international audiences and potentially achieve Academy Award recognition.
