“Noga,” a documentary about indie star Noga Erez’s rocky road to stardom, will premiere June 7 at the 25th Tribeca Film Festival.
The film is being screened as part of Tribeca’s Spotlight program, with additional screenings on June 8 and 11 at the AMC theater on East 19th Street.
Erez and her personal and musical partner, Ori Rousso, will follow the screening with an acoustic performance.
The singer commented on social media that it took five years of filming to produce the film.
In the film, produced and directed by brothers Jono Bergmann and Benji Bergmann, who work between Vienna and New York, the indie singer is reportedly unfiltered and unafraid to speak about war, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the boycott experienced by Israeli entertainers, the Hamas hostage crisis, and her relationship with Rousso.

Erez, Rousso, and their band continued performing throughout the US and Europe after the bloody Hamas-led onslaught of October 7, 2023, bringing their brand of electro-pop to an ever-growing audience.
Erez has, at times, posted on social media about anti-Israel fans and comments, but has not interviewed with the Israeli media about her experiences.
The pair have been captivating audiences during their recent tour, which began with the music festival Coachella in April.
The Bergmann brothers’ films include the award-winning “Camp Confidential,” an animated Netflix Original short documentary about a secret U.S. military camp during WWII.
The other Israeli film premiering at Tribeca is Ruthy Pribar’s new feature, “What is to Come,” selected for the festival’s international competition. The film stars Ronit Yudkevitz and Yaakov Zada Daniel and explores grief and renewal.
This is a return to Tribeca for Pribar, whose 2020 debut feature, “Asia,” screened at the New York event, winning three awards.
