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.

Kings of Leon reveal a new more personal, acoustic songwriting direction with album ‘O My Beloved’

Tap title to read story

Rock band Kings of Leon officially announced their tenth studio album, O My Beloved, scheduled for release on November 6 through Love Tap Records and Virgin Music. The 13-track project represents a major sonic pivot toward an intimate, acoustic-driven direction. Frontman Caleb Followill developed the stripped-down material after breaking his foot during a game of tag with his children, an injury that forced the cancellation of a European tour and prompted the band to discard earlier electric demos. Self-produced entirely by the group for the first time, the record focuses on family gratitude, childhood memories, and domestic bliss. The lead single, My Whole World, debuted alongside a home-footage music video. To mark the announcement and their twenty-fifth anniversary, the band hosted an intimate performance at The Basement East in Nashville, returning to the small-club settings of their early career.
