Cancelled

Storyline

Acclaimed director Danny Ben-Moshe turns his lens to Australia’s arts sector in Cancelled, examining the experience of Jewish creatives following October 7. With urgency and compassion, the film follows musician Deborah Conway, visual artist Nina Sanadze, writer Joshua Dabelstein and circus artist Talia Sofizade as they navigate a rapidly shifting environment, culminating in the Bondi terror attack. Documenting their artistic practices and resilience in real time, the film forges an intimate portrait of a community and a wider reflection on the proliferation of antisemitism in the arts sector, exposing its implications on cultural life, freedom of expression and social cohesion.
