NAZA
Saturday, September 26 · 3:00 PM · Upper West Side
NAZA is a documentary that exposes the systems behind Israel's bombing of Gaza and the mass killing of Palestinian civilians, shot at night on the rooftops of Tel Aviv. Directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor—two of the four co-directors of the 2024 Oscar-winning No Other Land—the film builds on investigative reporting from +972 Magazine, Local Call, and the Guardian between 2023 and 2025. The title itself references a military acronym used by Israeli intelligence to predict civilian casualties in airstrikes, making the film's subject matter visceral and urgent.
Produced by the Guardian and James Wilson (JW Films), with executive producer Jonathan Glazer—the Oscar-winning team behind The Zone of Interest—NAZA brings heavyweight creative credentials to a story that demands them. This is documentary filmmaking with both artistic rigor and journalistic accountability.
The film screens as part of the 64th New York Film Festival's Main Slate at Alice Tully Hall on the Upper West Side. Showtimes include Saturday, September 26 at 3:30 PM and Sunday, September 27 at 12:00 PM, with additional screenings throughout the festival run. Runtime is 77 minutes; the film is in Hebrew and English with English subtitles.
