A new film titled “NAZA” receives a standing ovation lasting about 25 minutes at the Venice Film Festival. The movie is presented as an exposé focused on alleged Israeli use of AI systems in Gaza, drawing attention from audiences at the premiere.
Both outlets say the film depicts men and women whose voices and faces are digitally altered. They describe the film’s content as centering on an AI-powered system referred to as “Lavender,” which it links to identifying people for targeted killing. The sources differ in emphasis: Al Jazeera highlights the film’s overall subject and the recognition at Venice, while Free Malaysia Today adds more detail about how the people depicted are altered on screen and the film’s specific claim about “Lavender” being used for assassination targeting.
In context, the premiere places the film in a major international setting, where its allegations about AI use in Gaza are met with strong audience reaction, even as the claims are presented through the film’s narrative and editing choices.
