About Shoshana Movie:
Shoshana is a British biographical thriller film directed by Michael Winterbottom. The screenplay was written by Winterbottom, Laurence Coriat, and Paul Viragh. It stars Douglas Booth, Irina Starshenbaum, Harry Melling, Aury Alby, Ian Hart, Rony Herman, Yarden Lavi, Doron Kochavi, and Ofer Seker.
Winterbottom developed the film for many years. In 2010, Jim Sturgess, Colin Firth and Matthew Macfadyen were announced as its stars. While the film never entered production in 2010, Winterbottom did shoot documentary footage in Israel at the time with surviving participants in the events.
Filming began in October 2021 in the town of Ostuni in Italy, which doubled for Tel Aviv.
The film had its world premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival. It was released by Altitude Film Distribution on 23 February 2024 in the UK. It will be released in the US by Greenwich Entertainment later in 2024.
