Oscar-winning Israeli filmmakers’ documentary on Gaza war premieres at Venice Film Festival

Tap title to read story

Twenty-four Israeli military insiders provide testimony regarding automated targeting systems and civilian casualties in the Gaza war within the documentary film titled NAZA. Directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, the production premiered at the Venice Film Festival following a three-year secret shoot in Tel Aviv. The title references a military acronym used as shorthand for casualties, incorporating reporting previously published by outlets including +972 Magazine, Local Call, and The Guardian. Filmmakers utilized digital alterations to obscure subject appearances and voices to protect military personnel participating in the project. The documentary builds upon investigative journalism detailing remote bombing operations and artificial intelligence surveillance protocols utilized during military campaigns. Festival screenings have drawn international attention to internal military dissent and the bureaucratic tracking of non-combatant casualties. No further screenings or broad distribution dates outside the festival circuit have been officially announced by the production team.
