Venice Film Festival names NAZA, by Israeli directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, as the festival’s only documentary in competition. The film, shot at night from Tel Aviv rooftops, examines what the filmmakers describe as Israel’s calculated mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. It builds on reporting by +972, Local Call and The Guardian, with production by The Guardian and JW Films and executive producing by Jonathan Glazer. The festival runs 2–12 September.
Documentary NAZA presents testimonies from 24 Israeli insiders about mass surveillance and AI-assisted targeting in Gaza, drawing on reporting from 2023–2025. Filmed on Tel Aviv rooftops, identities are masked while the film critiques the systems enabling civilian deaths in the Gaza war.
