A new documentary about the ongoing conflict in Gaza, titled 'Naza', premiered at the Venice Film Festival on Thursday, 10 September 2026, earning a 24.5-minute standing ovation. This marks the longest-ever standing ovation at the event.
Directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, also known for their film 'No Other Land', reportedly grew teary-eyed during the applause. Audience members were observed holding up Palestinian flags.
The film offers insight into Israeli airstrikes in the region. It includes testimonies from 24 Israeli military intelligence officers and soldiers concerning the attitude towards civilian casualties. The title 'Naza' is an acronym used by Israeli intelligence to refer to civilian collateral damage, which signifies the number of civilians killed or expected to be killed in an airstrike.
