hen Israeli filmmaker Tal Inbar approached
Nancy Spielberg with her documentary
“Closed Circuit” about a deadly terrorist
shooting at a Tel Aviv cafe in June 2016, Spielberg
knew that she had to produce it.

“I just came away thinking, what if that happened to
me?” she said.

Spielberg, 66, one of Steven Spielberg’s younger
sisters (he has three) and a distinguished filmmaker in
her own right, was living in Tel Aviv at the time of the
attack. She presented the documentary to an audience of
about 100 at Landmark Theatres in Glenview, Illinois,
on May 4. The day beforehand, she spoke at a screen-
ing of the documentary at a conference of the Melton
School of Adult Jewish Learning.
