A Russian-language documentary evening event, “Not a Play—Don’t Keep Silent”

“Not a Play. Do Not Remain Silent” is a documentary-literary evening inspired by the stories of writer Lev Klotz, dealing with memory, heroism, and people whose stories must not be forgotten.

On one stage, literature, documentary cinema, personal testimonies, and live music will come together. Alongside Lev Klotz’s stories, excerpts from films by the OTEF project will be screened, documenting the stories of people who experienced the events of October 7 and the war.

Project creators Roman Kaplun and Zoe Albert Katz will speak about the heroes of the films and the encounters that stayed with them, while Vit Gutkin will accompany the evening with live guitar music.

This is an evening about Israel, war, courage, and human memory—about those who saved, fought, lost, survived, and continue to live.

All proceeds from the event will be dedicated to supporting IDF soldiers and the continued work of the OTEF project.

“Not a Play. Do Not Remain Silent”

A documentary-literary evening based on the stories of writer Lev Klotz—about memory, heroes, and people whose stories must not be forgotten.

Literature, documentary cinema, live music, and personal testimonies will come together on one stage. Lev Klotz’s stories will be presented alongside excerpts from films by the OTEF project, which, from the first months of the war, has preserved the stories of people who experienced October 7 and everything that followed.

Project creators Roman Kaplun and Zoe Albert Katz will speak about the heroes of their films and the encounters that have stayed with them forever. Musician Vit Gutkin will fill the evening with live guitar music.

This is a conversation about war, Israel, courage, and human memory—about those who saved, fought, lost, survived, and continue to live. Their voices must be heard.

All proceeds from the event will be directed toward supporting IDF soldiers and the continued work of the OTEF documentary project.
