Two of the filmmakers behind the most essential, vital documentary of 2024, No Other Land (winner of the Academy Award for Best Documentary and Indie Film Site Network Advocate Award), are returning with another look at destruction and violence inflicted on Palestinian lives.

The 83rd Venice International Film Festival has announced Naza, a new work by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, will premiere in competition at the festival on September 10. It has been produced by The Guardian and James Wilson (JW Films), and executive produced by The Zone of Interest director Jonathan Glazer. Wilson and Glazer are the Oscar-winning team behind The Zone of Interest**

Shot at night on the rooftops of Tel Aviv, the film reveals in detail the systems behind Israel’s calculated mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.” The directors, the producers, Guardian journalists, and the official delegation will appear at the premiere

Oscar-winning Israeli directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor hit the Venice Film Festival on Thursday with bombshell late competition addition Naza.

Based on interviews with 24 Israeli intelligence officers and soldiers, the documentary exposes the AI, phone surveillance and crude points-based systems deployed by the Israeli military in Gaza to decide targets, Hamas-related or otherwise, and then take them out in their homes regardless of whether children and other family members are likely to be killed in the strike as well

The title Naza is taken from the Israeli military’s Hebrew acronym to describe the number of civilians that could die when tallying up an estimated death-toll ahead of a strike.

Sounds like necessary viewing, hope its out on wider release sooner rather than later

In. So many great documentaries are getting buzz this last week or so.

Israel mad as hell at these directors

Net&Yahoo wants to revoke their citizenships allegedly

The most interesting tidbit is how the directors are being labelled as traitors for this, but not necessarily liars...

This by me October 11th I am sliding.

zionist not letting this go wide lol

Too much video evidence of atrocities over 3 years; no one would believe them if they called them liars anyways

also, they partnerd with The Guardian and this is releasing online for free

weirdos were literally protesting this at NYFF

not shocked them zionist run deep. Need people to go out and support this on its limited run

Thats dope, love this kinda move

Naza and you can see everything back to back documentary heads win

100% ROTTEN TOMATOES
