The documentary film titled “Holding Liat,” produced by Darren Aronofsky and recently honored with the Best Documentary Feature award at the Berlinale, has now been obtained by MetFilm Sales for global distribution.
Under the guidance of director Brendan Kramer, this movie is now eligible for the 2026 Oscars in the category of best documentary feature. It has earned this recognition following its victory at Berlin, where it received the top doc award similar to “No Other Land” in 2024. Notably, “No Other Land” won the Academy Award earlier this year after claiming that distinction at Berlinale.
In a personal perspective as a movie reviewer, “Holding Liat” chronicles the heart-wrenching real-time journey of an Israeli-American family, who are desperately seeking the freedom of their kin held captive in Gaza following the October 7 attacks. This poignant narrative raises intriguing questions about each family member’s personal identity and their complex emotional bonds with one another.
The Berlinale panel stated that the movie provides an environment that doesn’t suppress the intricacies of violence, justice, and historical overlaps, but instead, it emphasizes them.
Zak Brilliant, chief of sales and distribution at MetFilm, expressed great gratitude for collaborating with the filmmaking crew and sharing ‘Holding Liat’ with global buyers. This intense and crucial movie offers a profound portrayal of a highly intricate and heart-wrenching situation. However, above all, it serves as a remarkable demonstration of the strength in maintaining tranquility amidst chaos.
Liat Holding” is a film produced by the team at Protozoa and Meridian Hill Pictures, under the direction of Kramer. The production was overseen by Lance Kramer, Spike Lee (Aronofsky), Ari Handel, Yoni Brook, and Justin A. Gonçalves as producers.
Kramer stated that we had an exceptional vantage point to chronicle this event through the perspective of one family’s journey,” he said. “The path the narrative took us down was far more profound than we could have anticipated at the start. We are privileged to collaborate with MetFilm in sharing our film with diverse audiences everywhere.
