Noga

“...a tight, three-year snapshot of a couple on the crest of stardom, navigating war and white-knuckling the ups and downs of their own creative and romantic partnership.” – Rolling Stone

Australian Premiere

When directors Jono Bergmann and Benji Bergmann began documenting the life of the outspoken alternative singer Noga Erez in 2021, she was on top of the world. Co-signed by Billie Eilish, Katy Perry and Robbie Williams (who appears in this documentary), opening for P!nk and Florence + the Machine, and newly signed to Atlantic Records, her career was ascending at an undeniable rate.

Then, after the events of October 7 and the war that follows, Noga finds herself at a crossroads, conflicted over the crisis that unfolds in her home country, facing international concert cancellations, and forced to redefine herself as an artist.

Following Erez in an observational style and with remarkable access, the directors move deftly between her large-scale performances and quiet moments alone, ultimately crafting a portrait of an artist and Israeli public figure caught in a precarious balancing act.
