About the film
Double Feature with The Children of October 7
This double feature brings together Tattooed for Life and The Children of October 7 — two short documentaries confronting the horror of October 7 through different but deeply resonant lenses. The Children of October 7 follows seven young Israeli survivors aged 11-17, who bravely testify to the trauma, loss, kidnapping and lasting emotional wounds of that day. Tattooed for Life transforms pain into memorial, using fractal art and tattoos as acts of remembrance for those lost and as a way for survivors to carry visible marks of what happened. Together, these films force us to confront what was destroyed — but also to see how memory, resilience, and compassion carry forward
when violence tries to erase them.
After the massacre at the NOVA festival left 364 people dead, survivor Liraz Uliel turns her grief into art. She designs a fractal memorial to honour those lost, and invites fellow survivors to tattoo fragments of it onto their skin. Through these intimate sessions—sharing stories of loss, fear, love and hope—Liraz not only memorialises the victims, but also begins to heal. Tattooed4Life is a moving portrait of how creativity and community can help survivors reclaim hope in the aftermath of tragedy.
