Children No More: Were and Are Gone

Children No More: Were and Are Gone

Directed by Hilla Medalia

Children No More: Were and Are Gone is an observational documentary short (made without government funding) about a vigil that began in March 2025, when a handful of women stood silently in a public square in Tel Aviv, each holding a photograph of a child killed in Gaza. On every image: the child’s name, age, date of death, and the words “was and is no more.” Week after week, new names are added, new photographs are printed and lifted high. And each week, more people step forward to join this quiet act of protest.
