The Film: A 12-Hour Witness
12 Hours in October is a visceral, multi-narrative drama that recreates the harrowing events of the October 7th attacks in real-time. Following several interconnected stories, the film centers on the chaos and survival at the Nova Music Festival and the surrounding kibbutzim. It explores the sheer terror, extraordinary bravery, and the desperate fight for life during the critical 12-hour window that changed the region forever.
The Score
To capture the frantic pace and geopolitical weight of the narrative, composer Lionel Cohen utilizes a powerful, synth-heavy soundscape infused with haunting Middle Eastern influences. The score acts as a sonic ticking clock, moving from ambient dread to aggressive industrial pulses that mirror the intensity of the festival grounds and the tactical urgency of the defense efforts.
