The Berlin film festival premiered a documentary about an Israeli hostage held by Hamas last 14 February as it seeks to move on from controversy over its stance on Gaza at last year's edition.
"A Letter to David" by Israeli filmmaker Tom Shoval is a tribute to David Cunio, who was taken by Palestinian militant group Hamas from the Nir Oz kibbutz on 7 October 2023, and is still being held hostage in Gaza.
