Israeli whistleblowers detail Gaza civilian toll in Venice film
- On Thursday, directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor premiered their documentary NAZA at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, where it received a record-breaking 25-minute standing ovation.
- Filmed in secret over three years in Tel Aviv, the 80-minute documentary features interviews with 24 Israeli military intelligence officers and soldiers discussing AI-assisted targeting systems used during the Gaza war.
- Derived from a military acronym for expected civilian casualties, NAZA surpassed the 24-minute standing ovation record set last year by The Voice of Hind Rajab, becoming Venice's most applauded film.
- During the ovation, audience members unfurled Palestinian and Lebanese flags as executive producer Jonathan Glazer embraced the directors on stage, with Abraham calling for Western governments to use sanctions supporting human rights.
- With the Golden Lion winner announcement set for Saturday, NAZA remains a serious contender before screenings at the San Sebastián International Film Festival and the New York Film Festival later this month.
