Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor’s new documentary “NAZA” premieres at the Venice Film Festival, following their earlier Oscar-winning work on “No Other Land.” The films’ synopsis and materials describe “NAZA” as being shot at night on rooftops in Tel Aviv and focusing on systems used in Gaza. Critics and outlets report that the documentary draws on extensive testimony to portray how targeting decisions are made.

Across coverage, outlets say “NAZA” relies on interviews with 24 Israeli intelligence officers and soldiers, conducted under conditions described as total secrecy. Variety and Deadline both frame the film as a response to denial about what is happening in Gaza, while also highlighting the filmmakers’ access to participants who discuss surveillance and military decision-making processes. Deadline characterizes the documentary as exposing how AI, phone surveillance, and scoring or points-based systems are used to determine targets—whether related to Hamas or not—while describing it as a late competition addition at Venice.

Together, the reports emphasize the film’s Venice debut, its investigative approach, and the filmmakers’ continued collaboration. They differ mainly in how strongly they describe the film’s claims about specific technologies and targeting outcomes, but all agree on the premiere and the use of interviews with Israeli personnel.
