The documentary We Will Dance Again has been nominated for the prestigious Outstanding Producer of Documentary Motion Picture from the Producers Guild of America (PGA) awards.
The recently released film explores the harrowing massacre that took place at the Nova Festival on October 7, 2023 and offers a deeply personal perspective from survivors and their families, alongside previously unseen testimonies and footage.
Produced by MGM Television and See It Now Studios, the film gained significant attention after media giant Paramount Global began marketing and distributing it in the United States.
Paramount Global, jointly owned by American-Jewish businessman Brandon Korff, his two siblings, and their mother, Paramount Chair Shari Redstone, is distributing the film in the U.S. through its streaming service, Paramount Plus, which boasts over 70 million subscribers. Korff, known for his dedication to Israel, IDF soldiers, and artistic projects, supported Paramount’s involvement, emphasizing the company’s commitment to raising global awareness about the horrific massacre at the Nova Festival.

Sources involved in the film’s production emphasized that Paramount’s backing stems from a deep sense of responsibility to share the victims’ stories with as broad an audience as possible.
“For the company, the film serves not only as a historical account but also as a way to commemorate the victims and amplify the voices of survivors, particularly during a time of rising antisemitism and hostility toward Israel and the Jewish community,” said a member of the Israeli production team.
Brandon Korff has emerged as a prominent advocate for Israel, substantially increasing his support for the country and the IDF since the events of October 7, reflecting his solidarity during this critical time.

The film has received significant industry recognition, including winning the “Best in Category” and Best Editing awards at the 2024 Doc Edge Festival.
