Venice-winning Gaza documentary NAZA gets a two-day French cinema release
NAZA is a documentary by Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor about Israeli military methods in Gaza.
It won the Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.
The film uses anonymous interviews with Israeli soldiers and describes how the military estimates expected civilian deaths before strikes.
In the film, “NAZA” refers to those estimated casualties, with each victim counted as one.
The documentary is screening in French cinemas for two days, 12 and 13 October, with 500 screenings scheduled across France.
It is due to become available for free on The Guardian’s website in late November, at the filmmakers’ request.
The filmmakers have faced accusations of treason in Israel, and the article says their relatives have also been threatened.
